🇩🇴 International Prescriptions · Dominican Republic
Prescriptions from Dominican Republic — filled in Florida
From Santo Domingo, Santiago, or anywhere on the island — bring your Dominican prescription and we'll verify it and fill the U.S. equivalent, in Spanish, without the runaround.
Serving the Dominican community in Florida
Central Florida — especially Kissimmee, Buenaventura Lakes, and east Orlando — has one of the fastest-growing Dominican communities in the country, alongside the long-established communities in South Florida. Our Kissimmee location (the only one of our stores open Sundays) serves this community directly.
How it works in one line:
Bring the original prescription + photo ID → we verify the prescriber and identify the FDA-approved equivalent → you pay the insurance copay or discounted cash price → pick up or get free delivery within 5 miles. Most non-controlled medications are verified same-day. Full details on the process →
Common medication names: Dominican Republic → United States
Dominican brand names we commonly translate:
| Name in Dominican Republic | U.S. equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apronax (naproxeno) | Aleve (naproxen) | OTC here at 220mg; higher doses by prescription |
| Acetaminofén / Paracetamol | Tylenol (acetaminophen) | OTC here |
| Glucofage (metformina) | Glucophage / metformin | Direct equivalent |
| Aldomet (metildopa) | Methyldopa | Available by prescription |
| Losartán | Losartan / Cozaar | Direct equivalent |
Name equivalences shown for orientation — our pharmacist confirms the exact active ingredient and dose for your specific prescription before filling anything.
What to bring
- The original prescription from your doctor in Dominican Republic
- Photo ID — passport, driver's license, or consular ID
- U.S. insurance card if you have one (we also offer competitive cash pricing with automatic discount-card matching)
- The original medication packaging if you still have it — helps confirm dose and active ingredient
Frequently asked by Dominican families
My mom is here for six months caring for my kids. Can she fill her Dominican prescriptions the whole time?
Yes — non-controlled maintenance medications can be filled and refilled during her stay with her Dominican prescription, passport, and our standard verification. We'll set her up once and refills are easy.
Is the Kissimmee store really open Sundays?
Yes — Saturday AND Sunday, 9 AM to 2 PM, plus weekdays 9 AM to 7 PM. It's the only one of our three locations with Sunday hours.
Do you take Senasa or Dominican insurance?
Dominican insurance plans don't operate in the U.S. — but we quote cash prices with automatic discount-card pricing, and if you have or get any U.S. insurance (employer, Marketplace, Medicaid, Medicare), we accept all major plans.
