Dr Edgar Cuevas, a very good cardiologist in La Paz, advised my husband not to buy essential medications from Similares because the quality control is
unreliable. So for your blood pressure and cholesterol meds, and other heart meds, etc. shop at Benevides, ISSTE, or Famacia Especialidades. Pills
that treat depression and other non-life threatening conditions can be bought from Similares.
I am not an expert in this matter, but if Dr. Cuevas gives this advice I think it is worth following-- better safe than sorry! I think the generic is
available at these pharmacies at a fairly reasonable price. ISSTE ans Especialidades are on th ecorner of Madero and N Bravo, near La Fonda
restaurant in La Paz. Benevides is downtown, but I don't know the street name. |
