This phrase is in a medical report from Mexico, about a patient hospitalized for heart attack. The history says:
"SCACEST anteroseptal y lateral alto ... presentó dolor en region subescapular izquierda ... acude con *médico de farmacias similares* quien administra nitratos SL con lo que cede el dolor ... y es enviado a HGZ 6 (?) donde se TBL (TBL = trombolisis, btw).
Is this some Mexican medical provider that doesn't exist anywhere else? I understand the term "similares" to mean generic medications, and I could guess that "farmacias similares" could also be translated this way, but I don't understand this phrase! What sort of medico is this? How would you translate it? (And the document is going to the UK ... in case there is a more specialized or localized UK term for this.)
Many thanks.

doctor at "Farmacias Similares"
"Farmacias Similares" is a pretty large nationwide chain of pharmacies in Mexico. They offer "similar" products, not necessarily "generic", but very inexpensive medications.

Comment: "Thank you Lorenia. I've been to Mexico twice (in Quintana Roo only) and didn't notice these. I thought it was some medical specialty! (And I did add [a Mexican pharmacy chain] to my translation.)"
