Farmacia Bohemia Flamingo

Health & Pharmacy in Brasilito, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Plaza Bohemia, north of Mar Vista

Farmacia Bohemia Flamingo is a pharmacy in Plaza Bohemia, 300 meters north of Mar Vista, Cabo Velas District, Guanacaste, postal code 50304. It serves Flamingo, Potrero, and Brasilito. The address does not add a street number. Finding it depends on the plaza name, the offset from Mar Vista, the district, and the postal code.

A map link published with that address uses 10.420406, -85.769853. The same direction, Plaza Bohemia, 300 meters north of Mar Vista, appears in a holiday note that places the team in Playa Flamingo. Three hundred meters is a short walk from the Mar Vista landmark once that point is found. The coordinates mark the map point, and the offset shows the direction from Mar Vista: north, into the plaza.

The pharmacy opened on June 13, 2022. A greeting from Farmacias Coopefiu names Dra. Alison Meléndez and her team at Farmacia Bohemia in Playa Flamingo.

Medication consultations in Spanish or English

Spanish- and English-speaking staff provide medication consultations and drug-interaction guidance. The conversation can be held in the language that will be used later, when a label is read or a dose is measured.

The useful details are the generic name, the strength, and the form, such as a tablet, liquid, cream, or drops. Brand names often differ between countries, and two packages can share a name while differing in strength. If a familiar brand is not on the shelf, the active ingredient is the detail a pharmacist uses to look for an equivalent. A photo of the original package can stand in for worn print.

Interaction guidance depends on the full list: other medicines, supplements, and known allergies. Writing that list down before the visit keeps one product from being omitted. Some medicines do not tolerate a closed hot car. Mentioning a long ride, or a stay without refrigeration, gives the consultation a storage limit to plan around.

When local doctors enter the picture

Coordination with local doctors is part of the service. Staff also assist in emergency situations by coordinating with local doctors. The counter can be where that contact starts. It is not a substitute for emergency treatment.

A prescription already in hand, or a clear note of symptoms that started after a medicine change, gives that coordination something concrete to act on. Trouble breathing, chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, or a major injury needs emergency medical care rather than a retail counter.

Open hours through the week

Monday through Saturday the hours are 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The six weekdays share one span. Sunday opens later and closes in the mid-afternoon, so the week is covered with one shorter day.

A consultation fits more comfortably earlier in the open hours than in the final minutes before closing. On Sunday, a late-afternoon arrival can miss the window entirely. The phone number is 2226 2122, the contact for a question about that day's hours before the drive from Flamingo, Potrero, or Brasilito.

Cash, cards, and SINPE Móvil

Cash, credit cards, debit cards, and SINPE Móvil are accepted. Both credit and debit cards are accepted, and cash remains available for anyone who prefers it.

SINPE Móvil sends money between Costa Rican bank accounts using a phone number. It fits someone who already has that local transfer set up. Without a Costa Rican account, a card or cash is the workable route. If several people are buying medicine, keeping each person's items separate at the counter prevents similar bottles from being mixed in one bag.
