Ajuda! 🆘 Lost prescription
Hello
I’m traveling in Rio and lost a bag that had a prescription for clonazepam in it. (I think in Brazil it’s called rivotril ?)
I’m wondering the process to get a replacement. I’ve contacted my doctor to get a new prescription but it might take a few days to process and it will be in English
In the meantime does anyone know where I could get it, for example if it’s possible to get over the counter at the pharmacy ? Or if I need a doctors appointment how I could do that easily?
I once ran out previously while traveling in another country and was able to get it at the pharmacy without a prescription so I know everywhere has different rules.
Thanks a lot for any help
