Kylake, this is only tangentially related to your task (Thanks, btw for the effort), but this article touches on where (or where not) to get medicines.
As with most things in JA, I know not to think I fully understand the motivations raising the issue, or what is truly going on, but it appears to be concern over dispensing of medicines by "unqualified" persons.
I will note that 2 lines in particular are, IMO, xenophobic and perhaps racist.
'Scores of Jamaicans could be facing life-threatening risks as some doctors, mainly foreigners operating locally, are bypassing pharmacists and dispensing medication at their offices.'
“The problem of [an] unregulated doctors' office dispensing drugs is becoming more prevalent in the western parishes, which have an influx of Asian doctors who practised similarly in their home countries"
BAD MEDICINE!
