===What to Get & Where to Get It===


At Peruvian pharmacies ("farmacias" or "boticas"), you can buy contraception. For oral contraceptives, Trinordiol 21 is a recommended brand. Otherwise, look for pills from any major pharmaceutical company, like Merck, Pfizer, etc. If you are buying condoms, it is recommended to ask for a brand-name condom. Otherwise, you will be sold the cheap rainbow brand, which may be less effective than some other brands. Some recommended pharmacies are Boticas BTL, InkaFarma and Boticas FASA. Hospitals should also have pharmacies.
