Visit a doctor and get a perscription.

Visit a doctor and bring your prescription bottle.

Father in Law is from Bolivia and has no insurance, and his blood pressure is rapidly going up. He wants to avoid the whole process of getting a USA prescription because of the insane medical costs here + no USA insurance.

It's not a good idea to visit the US if you didn't plan out the medical stuff. I'd recommend getting him on a plane back ASAP because it could take a while to do things here in the states.

Contact your country consulate, the Americans are not going to give him free stuff

I don't know how to get past needing a prescription, but I get generic blood pressure medicine at walmart for $10 for a 90 day supply. Their formulary is online so you can look up whether his usual medicine is one of the cheap ones.

Uh huh. For fentanyl i presume.

Any chance he has travel insurance? Definitely a good idea in the future. I’m not sure if it’s too late for him to get it now or if they cover prescriptions but it might be worth a search. I use Allianz.

Pharmacy technician here: your only options are to visit an urgent care or emergency room and get a prescription for a holdover supply of medication. You will need to use a prescription discount card to bring the cost down. But unfortunately because of a combination of the standard billing practices and prescription law we cannot just give you pills.
