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 pus 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. The cost is very good and they will ship to any place in the U.S. They can be reached at www.blessing.org, or phone 918 250 8101. Donated meds, through your organization, like vitamins, tylenol and ibuprofen are fine to bring and good way to offset some of the costs. If you wish, we can place the 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'.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY OUTDATED MEDICINE. IF CUSTOMS IN GUATEMALA AIRPORT FINDS OUTDATED MEDICINE THEY WILL TAKE IT AND ANY OTHER MEDICINE IN THE SAME BOX OR SUITCASE. THIS HAS HAPPENED. IF IT GETS THROUGH CUSTOMS WE WILL NOT USE IT. NOW, IF YOU CAN GET A DEAL ON MEDICINE WITH A SHORT EXPIRATION DATE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BRING IT.
