Dennis Philpot Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Another minor issue I've run into (and I do have a couple of fallback plans) is finding appropriately priced and packaged 81mg aspirin. I've been taking it for years on my US doctor's advice and of course it's cheap and easy in the US. So far in Boquete and David, however, it's a different story. I've found the 81mg packs of maybe 30 tablets, but priced at almost $10 or more, since it's labeled and sold as "cardio aspirina". Yet a box of 20 500 mg aspirin tabs is priced around $2. Anyone can see the math doesn't make sense nor does trying to cut 500 mg tabs into 100 mg pieces. So I can either buy bulk on-line at Amazon or Walgreen's, etc. and have it shipped here, buy a few years supply when I visit the US in September, or ask this community if anyone has a better local solution. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hil Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Cheap in all the pharmacies in david. you just have to look for them on the shelf. don't ask for cardio. just grab the 81mg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieElaine Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I use the 100 mg Aspirin in Revilla in Boquete. It does not have to be the cardio brand which is much more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
