This formulary is based on regularly scheduled or team clinics that have been held in the Boca Costa area since the first part of 2003. It is based on seeing 100 plus patients per day and a stay of one week. If you have different meds that can be substituted in kind for our meds on this list, please feel free to bring those.
It is important that this formulary or the equivalent be followed as closely as possible so that you have adequate medicine, providing the best experience for your team. We and other teams have used a company called Blessings International when needing to order medicines. The list of meds below have been taken from the Blessings formulary and from the formulary of our Guatemala supplier. Blessings will ship to any place in the U.S. They can be reached at www.blessing.org, or phone 918 250 8101. Many medicines, especially antibiotics, are being purchased in Guatemala because of the occasional difficulty and expense of getting medicine through customs at the Guatemala airport. Donated meds, through your organization, like vitamins, Tylenol, ibuprofen, creams and eye drops, are fine to bring and good way to offset some of the costs. If you wish, we can place the Blessings order for you and have it shipped to your location. For additional lists of medical suppliers go to www.umcsc.org/users/umvim/knock.htm and then click on 'Sources for Medical Supplies'. and then click on 'Sources for Medical Supplies'.
CAUTION: Expired or short dated medicines will not be approved by the Guatemalan Minister of Health.
