St. Thomas pharmacies similar to Cancun?

[Lydia B.]

Howdy, does St. Thomas have pharmacies similar to Cancun or Cozumel. I like to pick up some penicillian to keep on hand. In Cancun they are fairly large, no prescription needed and offer a variety of drugs that in the US we have to have scripts for. e.g. alergies, sleep aid, etc. Thanks so much, did a search on the St. Thomas board with no luck.

Also going to Tortola and Antigua, so same question for those ports. Merry Christmas, Lydia of Ohio

St. Thomas is a US Virgin Island so it is subject to US law in most cases therefore you need a prescription for the same drugs that you would need one for in the US.

We were just there over Thanksgiving and the pharmacies are nothing like Coz. Maybe I just went to the wrong one, but I think the above poster has it correct since they are part of the US! Have a great cruise!
