Your question is too broad - there are literally thousands and thousands of medications available in Ecuador and Cuenca. Perhaps if you mention the specific medications of interest? But otherwise, here is a list of approved medications that you can search to see if the medications you seek are included:

Here is a list of Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications available:

You can see other medications and lists at this page which includes the above list but is also a data base of medications in various categories:

Here is a 368 page PDF that lists various medications, their usages, dosages, cautions, adverse effects etc:
