vitamins/medicines checked upon arrival in Paraguay?

Hello jaguar57.

Welcome to Expat.com

Thanks.

Karen

thanks gorgeous!

My parents who brought half a drug store with them never had a problem coming from the US to Asuncion to visit us.

thanks for the reply Lonnie.
There is a possibility of favoritism towards the local latinos when they come back from the States. Lonnie if your parents are such then I don't know that I fall into the same safe zone that they do.

It should also be noted that many items that would require a prescription back home, can be acquired down here without one.

Perhaps to find the generic name for each drug, and see if it can be found down here. Paraguay has a couple large pharma outfits here, including one that produces generics... thus you can probably see a nice shaving of the costs after the fact.

I don't know about favoritism considering My dad doesn't speak Spanish and my mom has a heavy accent when she speaks it LOL - I think because of their age maybe they went easy on them.
