FINDING MEDICINAL PRODUCTS ON SITE
Compatriots who use specific medicines can contact the reference doctor of the Embassy, or a local doctor, to check whether on the local market are available drugs equivalent to those prescribed in Italy, and to have them possibly prescribed.
Where such drugs are not available on site and their importation is not prohibited, the compatriots must first of all arrange to have the medicines sent from Italy, with the possible collaboration of family or friends, by express courier.
If none of these hypotheses is feasible, compatriots are asked to contact the Embassy by email at consolare.panama@esteri.it to check the possibility of organizing an extraordinary shipment, the cost of which will be in any case by the interested party.
