Medicine in Colombia

I will be traveling to Bogota and would like to know what is the name of this medicine , Avodart,in Spanish? and can I get it without a prescription? It is a prostate gland medicine , it is suppose to shrink the gland so it won't interfer with urination?

Thank you

Chances are that the name will be the same. If you have the generic name it could be easier.Bring the Rx with you also to make sure. Bogota is a big city and has many hospitals, drug stores and doctors.

Hey someone else just posted the same question on CRT. Was it you?? Anyway I bet you find it down there but don't necessarily count on a discount. I compared Alegra in Costa Rica a few years and much more expensive. Good luck if you do find it cheaper. If so please let us know which farmacia en Medellin.

A natural remedy that works is called uña de gato, or cat's claw. You'll have to ask around on where to buy this herb in your city. This worked for a friend, and he feels much better. He cannot afford to buy medicine.

You just make a tea with it and drink it once a day. Still follow your doctor's orders, of course, but try this in addition to your meds.
