How to choose: pharmacies
In Caacupé, the best pharmacy is the one that has your medicine in stock today and is close to you, without crossing the centre when it is packed. Before you go, call or WhatsApp with the exact name of the medicine and ask whether they have it and how late they are open. If you are coming for the 8 December festival, buy what you need before you leave home.
How to find a pharmacy near you in Caacupé
Searching "farmacia" on your phone's map is a good start, but the listed hours are not always up to date.
- Use the Basilica as a landmark: everyone in town knows it, and it makes the centre easy to navigate.
- If you are staying in a neighbourhood: the city has urban barrios such as Centro, San Rafael, Tupasy Ycuá, Yvú and Kennedy, plus rural areas like Azcurra, Cabañas and Potrero Po'i (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). Save two or three pharmacies in your area with their numbers.
- If you are passing through on Route PY02: Caacupé sits on PY02, about 54 km from Asunción (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). For a quick purchase, a pharmacy near the highway saves you from driving into the centre.
- At night, on Sundays or holidays: call first, even if the map says "open now".
What to ask before you go
- Stock: brand name, active ingredient, dose and form (tablets, syrup, drops).
- Alternatives: if your prescribed brand is out, ask what they have with the same active ingredient and check with the pharmacist or your doctor.
- Prescription: if the medicine is prescription-only, bring the original.
- Payment and delivery: whether they take cards, bank transfer or QR, and whether they deliver to your area.
What to check at the counter
Dinavisa (opens in a new tab), Paraguay's national health surveillance agency, regulates pharmacies. Its inspections have found unregistered products, prices above the set level and missing cold-chain equipment (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). That gives you three easy checks:
- Health registration: every medicine imported into Paraguay must have its registration number printed on the box, along with the laboratory (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). If you cannot see it, do not buy it.
- Cold chain: insulin and other refrigerated products should come out of a fridge, not off a shelf.
- "Miracle" products: be wary of anything promising quick cures. Dinavisa publishes a list of products withdrawn from the market (opens in a new tab).
Coming to Caacupé for 8 December
During the Virgin of Caacupé festival the town fills with pilgrims and health needs spike. In 2025 the Ministry of Health set up 27 health posts between the Cruce Peregrino (km 48) and Plaza Itacurú, mostly treating foot wounds, blood pressure, glucose, heatstroke and dehydration (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)).
- Bring your own medication: staff at the regional hospital said many people with high blood pressure arrive unwell because they did not bring or take their medicine before walking (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). Take it on your usual schedule.
- Pack a small kit: blister plasters, sunscreen and whatever you use regularly. Buying it beforehand saves queuing at a crowded pharmacy in town.
- Walk in the cooler hours: the Ministry advises avoiding walking between 10:00 and 16:00 and staying hydrated (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)).
- If you feel unwell: go to the nearest health post for dizziness, nausea or heavy fatigue instead of looking for a pharmacy.
What if it is an emergency?
If the counter cannot solve it, do not waste time looking for a pharmacy: the Hospital Regional de Caacupé is where serious cases in the area are referred (ABC Color (opens in a new tab)). For things a pharmacist can handle, such as a mild fever or a refill of something you already take, having two pharmacies saved on your phone saves the most time.
Where to complain if something is wrong
If you were sold an unregistered product, overcharged, or saw a refrigerated medicine on an open shelf, you can file a complaint through the Dinavisa (opens in a new tab) website. Keep the receipt and a photo of the box.
