How to choose: pharmacies
In Concepción, the right pharmacy is the one that has your medicine today and sits on your route, not simply the closest pin on the map. The centre is small and walkable, so you can often sort everything out within a few blocks; if you are staying in an outlying district, call or WhatsApp first to check stock and opening hours.
Where to find a pharmacy in Concepción
- Downtown: Avenida Agustín Fernando de Pinedo is the main north-south avenue that splits the town in two, and most shops are on Presidente Franco and Mariscal Estigarribia (Wikivoyage (opens in a new tab)). If you have other errands, this is the area to combine them.
- From the outer districts: Concepción has 72 barrios, 24 urban and 48 rural (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). From places like Paso Horqueta or Costa Pucú, a trip downtown is an outing in itself, so save two pharmacies you trust, one near home and one in the centre, and ask before you go.
- At night, on Sundays and holidays: do not trust an "open" label on a map. Call ahead, especially for a feverish child or a medicine you cannot skip.
What to ask before you go
A short call saves you a trip in the heat:
- Exact name and strength: brand, active ingredient, milligrams and form (tablets, syrup, drops, injection).
- Alternatives: if the prescribed brand is out, ask what they have with the same active ingredient and check it with the pharmacist or your doctor.
- Prescription: if the medicine is prescription-only, bring the prescription.
- Payment and delivery: whether they take cards, bank transfer or QR, and whether they deliver to your area.
What to check at the counter
Paraguay's health regulator, Dinavisa (opens in a new tab), supervises pharmacies. Its director said the most common violation it found was selling products not registered in the country, and some pharmacies lacked equipment to keep the cold chain (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). Three simple checks:
- Registration number: every medicine must have its health registration printed on the box, along with the laboratory (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). If it is missing, do not buy it.
- Cold storage: insulin and other refrigerated products should come out of a fridge, not off a shelf.
- Recalls: if something looks off, search Dinavisa's list of products withdrawn from the market (opens in a new tab).
Heat and rain: keeping medicines safe
Summer highs in Concepción can reach 42 °C, and the rainiest months are November to January (Wikipedia (opens in a new tab)). In practice:
- Do not leave medicines in a parked car or on a motorbike seat in the sun while you run errands. Make the pharmacy your last stop.
- If you buy something refrigerated, carry a cool bag and head straight home.
- In a heavy storm, wait it out unless the medicine is urgent.
Insured with IPS and your medicine is out of stock?
In May 2026 the head of IPS, Paraguay's social security institute, visited its regional hospital in Concepción and acknowledged that 215 products were at zero stock across the system (Última Hora (opens in a new tab)). If the IPS pharmacy cannot supply you, do not walk from shop to shop: call two or three pharmacies with your prescription in hand, ask about stock and price, and ask them to hold it for you.
Heading north or to the Brazilian border?
Concepción is the last big town before many destinations. Buses run to Pedro Juan Caballero and Cerro Corá National Park and to Vallemí, and once a week the Aquidabán cargo boat leaves the port for Bahía Negra (Wikivoyage (opens in a new tab)). Before you leave:
- Buy enough of your treatment for the whole trip, plus a few days.
- Pack insect repellent, sunscreen and basic stomach remedies.
- Keep the box or a photo of the active ingredient. Brand names can differ in other towns and across the border in Brazil.
Where to complain
If you were sold an unregistered or expired product, or a refrigerated item kept outside the fridge, you can report it through the form on the Dinavisa (opens in a new tab) website. Keep the receipt and a photo of the box.
