Frequently asked questions

PrecioSano is a Chilean website that compares medicine prices across pharmacies. We look in Cruz Verde, Salcobrand, Ahumada, Dr. Simi, Farmex, Búho, Farmaloop and more, so you can find the best price without visiting each pharmacy's website.

Yes, it is free. You can search and compare prices as much as you want without signing up. Saving medicines and price alerts need a free account.

No. PrecioSano is not a pharmacy and does not sell medicines. We show you the prices pharmacies publish on their websites. To buy, go directly to the pharmacy you choose.

Prices are for reference and come from each pharmacy's public website. They can vary by location, stock and current promotions. Always check the final price with the pharmacy before buying.

The whole catalog is refreshed every day, and the most searched medicines every six hours. How often it changes also depends on each pharmacy.

Each pharmacy has its own catalog. It may not sell it, it may be temporarily out of stock, or its website may not list it. Check directly with the pharmacy.

Yes. You can search by brand name (for example "Tapsin") or by active ingredient (for example "Paracetamol 500mg"). Search results are in Spanish and also show ISP certified bioequivalents when there are any.

A medicine with the same active ingredient, in the same dose and form as the original, that has shown Chile's Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) it has the same therapeutic effect. Bioequivalents are cheaper than the brand name medicine.

ISP certified bioequivalents have passed tests showing they are therapeutically equivalent to the original product. Even so, any change of medicine should be discussed with your doctor or pharmacist.

No. You can search and compare prices freely. A free account lets you save your list of medicines ("Mis Remedios"), get alerts when a price drops and sync across devices.

It is your personal list of medicines. You save the ones you take regularly and PrecioSano shows you where they are cheapest, how much you can save, and lets you know when they drop in price.

Your list of medicines is sensitive health data under Chilean law. It is stored only with your explicit consent, it is not shared with third parties and you can delete it at any time from your profile. Searches are never sent to analytics tools with the medicine name.

The on-duty section (in Spanish) shows the pharmacies open outside regular hours in your comuna, with information from the official on-duty system.
