Where to Buy Ileostomy Supplies in Puerto Vallarta?

If you're enjoying a vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and find yourself running low on ileostomy supplies, don't worry. There are several ways to get what you need locally. Here are some helpful tips and advice to ensure you can continue to enjoy your trip without any stress:

1. Online and Delivery Options:
- Consider ordering through Amazon or your usual ostomy supply provider. Many of these services can ship internationally or directly to your hotel or resort.

2. Local Store in Puerto Vallarta:
- Visit MEDIMMED located in Colonia Versalles at Calle Milán 162. It's about a 15-minute walk from the hotel zone.
- They stock Hollister products, and one traveler was able to purchase a box of 10 Hollister drainable pouches for approximately 1,126.01 MXN (around 79.63 CAD).
- This is a good option if you typically use closed pouches but are open to using drainable ones temporarily.

3. Finding Additional Sources:
- Ask at any local pharmacy or "farmacia." Pharmacists often know where you can find ostomy supplies.
- Use Google to search for "ostomy supplies near me" or "insumos de ostomía Puerto Vallarta" to locate nearby medical-supply stores.
- The resort or hotel staff, including doctors or concierge, can also assist by calling or directing you to medical-supply outlets.

4. Travel Tips:
- Always pack more pouches than you think you'll need, and bring both drainable and closed options.
- In case of emergencies, switching from closed to drainable pouches can help extend your supply until you return home.
- If you need to change a pouch on an airplane, it is possible but can be cramped. Plan ahead and carry a compact change kit in your carry-on luggage.

These tips should help you manage your supplies and enjoy your vacation with peace of mind.
