In the DR you need a prescription for pain killer type medications. If you are bringing a bunch of oxycontin pills into the DR, I would advise you, to get a prescription from your doctor for those type of pills. Non-pain killer type drugs, crestor, lipitor etc, I wouldn't worry about. Customs in DR just about never checks luggage, but you may not want to be the guy they check and they find a bunch of pain killing drugs in your luggage, with no prescription.

Non-pain killing type medication, usually can be easily bought in DR pharmacies without a prescription.

Thanks for the info.

You can buy the chip from Claro, just take your USB pen there and ask. Prepaid unlimited internet service is available for one month or longer only. The service is louzy, expect to load one window at a time or it crashes. Some rare days it ran smooth, but eventually you'll get used to it and figure out it's better than no internet at all. I paid DP 2000 for the USB, chip, and unlimited service for one month. They also charged me DP 560 in taxes on top which was ridiculous. Can't tell you what just the chip would cost.

If I bring some of my own meds, which I don't have a script for, do I have to worry about customs when I enter the DR? Or is customs a joke like some places I know?

Just about always last minute prices are high for airplane tickets. Book midweek, like on a Tuesday and sometimes the prices are lower. Jetblue currently has the most flights into DR.

Bring insect repellant, sunscreen if the sun burns your skin, immodium for diarrhea. Bring your own condoms. Hershey chocolates are good to have in the room to feed the chicas. This past trip I had terrible heartburn after using LaPela (generic cialis) , not sure if the LaPela caused the hearturn, but I wish I had some Prilosec (over the counter medicine for heart burn). I usually buy the name brand Cialis (by Lilly) , but the pharmacy in santo domingo wanted me to buy a 4 pack, which I didn't want. So I bought 4 LaPela for 200 pesos (50 pesos each). I think in the future I will stick with the name brand Cialis. The heartburn (acid reflux) I had after using the LaPela, woke me up at night, I don't want that again.

There are online sites that track airplane rates and give predictions as to whether they believe the prices will go up or down. During major holidays the rates are higher. Before winter high season, in the Fall, rates are usually less.

It is a known side effect of tadalafil that it may cause back ache. A bottle of pink bismuth (Pepto bismol) is always useful, because it can be used both as an antacid and as an antidiarrheal, and it is cheap if you buy the generic. Is also available in the DR.

Tadalafil. Oral, Cialis

SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, stomach upset, back pain, muscle pain, nasal stuffiness, flushing, pain in arms or legs, dizziness, or vision changes may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

I bought an antacid / antigas medicine. The antacid part worked well.

I am planning a DR vacation for a week during September.

I have few questions:

When is the best time to buy a flight ticket from the US?

(Last minute. 2 weeks in advance or 2 month in advance)

Should I bring Condoms from home or one can find quality brands in the local pharmacies?

Any suggestions regarding any items to bring from the US to make my vacation more enjoyable are most welcome.

Thanks

Spray on Benadryl can be effective in stopping the itch from insect bits. Tylenol cold or the walmart version, has a cough suppressant and a decongestant, not fun for me to fly when I am congested, ears can't decompress in the airplane, can be awful pain. A nail clipper. Some DR chicas like to clip the finger nails and toe nails of the guys they are with.

I never had problems with Viagra and Cialis, La Pela works well but the reflux occurs only when I use it as now I can affirm. I was also thinking drinks or food were responsible but I also drink and eat at home.

I also get heartburn from La Pela so what I do is starting the day before I go to the DR I take 1-1/2 Zantac 150's every day from then until I stop taking the La Pela when I get home and no more heartburn. I prefer La Pela over Viagra / sildenafil.

These pills work by opening the blood vessels in the penis, so the penis can more easily get engorged with blood and thus erect. Maybe lapela has an effect on the opening of the esophagus into the stomach, causing that opening to open more and allowing acid from the stomach to enter the esophagus (acid reflux, heartburn).

I agree with you, I have not had the acid reflux reaction when I took Cialis made by Lilly.

I get horrible agida, acid reflux for years in the DR while I was using La Pela but I would always swear that it was the RUM and all the sugar its made from. You really think its the LaPela? One things for sure, La Pela gives me the worse back pain. Or is that all the fucking? LOL

Wow, thanks, now I know what caused me the acid reflux during my last trip, I also used La Pela. I thought it was food or drinks but I had the same heartburn you described and it was terrible. I was thinking on visiting a doctor in Puerto Rico but the heartburn dissapeared.

Thanks Frannie for the great advises.

The AA saver last minute deal sounds great, I am flying From ORD and I found an AA ticket for $312 not including taxes. I am not sure how low it can go.

Regarding the condoms I am not familiarized with the Super Jumbeau Grandes what is the brand name in English?

$312 from Chicago is a great price. Take it.

Super Jumbeau Grandes is a joke. You will understand when you get here.
