| This
is one of the big 'chain' pharmacies. Farmatodo is probably one of the
busiest on the island. ***It
is located directly across the street from the AB
building and diagonal from Provemed. Besides being a pharmacy, they also carry some medical supplies, such as: exercise balls and bands, gauze for bandaging, bandaids, tape, wound cleaning solutions, etc. And they carry all the normal items that most pharmacies here carry. Items such as: cosmetics, some foods (drinks, snacks, boxed, canned, ice cream, etc), laundry detergents and softeners, drinking water, toys, some clothing/shoe items, beach items and other items too numerous to mention. This store is only about 5 or 6 years old, plus newly remodeled early last year. I hope to have more photos soon, so stay toooned. |

| This is
the entrance to the
Provemed Pharmacy, one of the other big 'chain' pharmacies
here. They are in a small strip mall on the corner
of Av. Bolivar and
Av. Aldonza Manrique and situated across from Farmatodo and AB building. They would not allow me to take pictures of the store shelves as it was against corporate policy, which is understandable. |
The
pharmacy area. The
gentleman
in the background is the store manager and, I'm sorry I wasn't paying
attention to the lady in the foreground blocking the view to him. Most larger phamacies carry any medication you might need, but sometimes they are out. So you just go from pharmacy to pharmacy tll you find it. |
Provemed
carries a lot of
medical
supplies and equipment that you won't find at the smaller stores. This
pharmacy carries things like wheel chairs, stethoscopes, surgical tape,
ace wraps, dressing materials, braces, etc. They also carry some grocery items like other pharmcies. And they have an Optical area called OptiCabuka where you can get prescription glasses. |
