    Gout in Spanish is called gota. You probably won't find a pharmacist here who speaks English...maybe, but I doubt it. But plenty of Mexicans get gota so I'm sure you can get the meds here.

    I think the pharmacists in the hotel zone speak at least some English. If you go with the names written down they should be able to help you.

    We used a pharmacy just down from TTR two years ago. My son needs a med that is approved in UK and Carribean but not in the north. The pharmacist was most helpful and had a good grasp of english.
