Legal Drugs

Hi,

i Was wondering if any of the following chemicals are legal/illegal in the Dominican Republic:

Benzodiazepenes

Ketamine Hydrochloride

And if:

Dextromethorphan/DXM Cough Medicines are available

Dimenhydrinate containing sickness pills are available

Usually under the brand name Dramamine, Gravol and Vertirosan

If any one of these could be answered i would be highly greatful

Thanks

Nova Scotia

1. Re: Legal Drugs

Sorry, I can't address your specific questions but generally if it's OTC in North America or even a number of low level prescription drugs like antibiotics, commonplace BP and cardiac drugs, etc. - there is no requirement for a script in the DR. Painkillers (narcotic or not) however, are very tightly regulated and many doctors don't have the right credentials to write prescriptions for them as a specill license is required.

I'm not sure why your asking as I don't recognize all of your selections but I, personally would not hesitate to bring my own Gravol or DM cough meds or any other commonplace OCT drugs from home.
