Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.

Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

  2. Since I’ve been here I’ve discovered the smaller pharmacies are much cheaper than larger chains and they have a larger range of generics. What really surprised me are the amount of medications that are prescription only in most developed countries that are over the counter in The Phiippines. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Celebrex is just one example of many so it always pays to ask. The other thing is you can buy medication by the single tablet if you want to, in fact it’s the norm. I’ve often been given funny looks when I ask for the entire box/bottle when purchasing; but then again, I live in a rather remote area where the income levels are lower so it may be different in major-metro areas.

  3. Very cool! I was able to look up everything very quickly! About $30 extra per month for my stuff, which is no biggie.

  4. It is strange that some medicines they show a large box, yet there is only tablet inside. Or when you go to the pharmacy for cold medicine, they open a box and give you a section of the blister pack, not the entire box. Also, do the pharmacies not dispense pills in a bottle like in the USA? Meaning you get a prescription and the pharmacist fills up the bottle based on what the doctor said to dispense?

  5. My former brother-in-law is a doctors at St. Lukes. I tell him what I need. I mean arthritis and high blood pressure nothing wonky. Solves all my problems and I can hit up Mercury or Watsons. Rose? Wow… I’ve been to the Philippines a dozen times. Neve rseen a Rsoe Pharmacy. Keep up the great posts!!!
