It is liquids that you are forbidden to bring - not medication! I brought all my vitamins and my medication. The vitamins I had in my checked bag, but my medication I had in my carry on. What you do I get a clear plastic bag to hold all your medication. Then when you go through customs you just pull out the bag with all the pill vials in ther for the agents to see.

A big city should have a Walmart. But a small one won't. But every small city has stores and supermarkets where you can buy what you need.

Relax and stop worrying - you are being your own worst enemy!

You can bring in ibuprofen or advil without a problem. There are several walmarts in San Jose metro area but not in Quepos/Manuel Antonio but you can can advil in any drugstore (and there are several in Quepos if you forget).

You can bring as much of any medicine you want. TSA does not care. There are no rules against bringing medicine. If you needed to buy them and there was not a Walmart nearby, you could go to a pharmacy. In Latin America...the common name for Trylenol is Parecetamol. You do not need a perscription and can buy it cheaply at any pharmacy.

yes there is a Wal-Mart just 3 min away from the airport and there are several across the country so don't worry

Hi, my family and I will be taking a trip down to the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area. I am afraid at the airport I cant bring ibuprofen or Advil(is that true, ive only been on a plane twice and that was short) and I get hurt easily and a lot. Im sorry if this is a stupid question but do they have one in that area? Thank you.
