Bolivian pharmacies take turns ('turno') so that at least one is always open at night or on holidays: the farmacia de turno. It is the everyday way to reach medicine and a pharmacist's advice after hours.
It rotates, so find out which one has turno today: ask a waiter, your hostal, the portero or portera, or a neighbour, or check the list on pharmacy doors, and confirm.
