One of my very favorite subjects regarding Moldova. If you know exactly what you need, and the dosage, you just go to the pharmacy, tell the pharmacist what you want and how many, pay the money and you are out the door. Simple as that. Most drugs are substantially less than in the U.S. and there are things available here which are very effective that you cannot get in the states. No prescription needed unless you need tranquilizers or things of that nature.
A good example is a blood pressure medication that I take which in the states is called Norvasc.
I get 30ea 10mg tablets for about $20. Prices were a even a lot cheaper until about a year ago when Moldova instituted a new drug import system with strict quality control measures.

Why Retire in Moldova?
If you are seeking a place to retire that is somewhat similar to mid-America, Moldova is it. Nestled between Romania and Ukraine down near the Black Sea, Moldova enjoys a climate of 4 distinct seasons with the side benefit of very low humidity in the Summer. Excellent air travel connections to most major European cities and train service connecting to all of Europe.
Cost of living that is about as low as you will find anywhere and a personal safety factor that is just not found anywhere else I have been.
Expat Consulting
If becoming an "Expat" is a real consideration for you, no matter where you are planning to move, there are a lot of things you may want to get advice about. All the books and websites around cannot prepare you like the real live experience of someone who has "been there, done that". Maybe we need to "talk".
Expat Resources
Experienced Help !
If you are interested in considering Moldova as a potential retirement location, I can assist you in making your decision.
I have been here 6 years, made all the mistakes, and know all the things not to do! I packed my bags and moved to Moldova in summer of 2004. I have not looked back. I have created this blog so that other retirees who may be now interested in escaping the general disaster that is now the U.S. economy and political scene might know about my secret little country called Moldova! If you are interested in finding out more, send an email to happyinmoldova%%at%%yahoo.com with your phone number and a time to call. Just replace the %%at%% with an @ sign in the email address.
