We are thinking of taking a drive down to Mission (in Rockport area now) Another couple would like to go to get prescriptions filled. Do you have to have a written presc to take to the pharmacy or just an empty medication bottle with label? I know one of the meds is Ativan (for anxiety) and one is a cholesterol med. I really don't want to go to Mexico and then find out that they can't get there meds. Would much rather spend the time around Mission. I think we would be going into Progresso if able to get meds.

cholesterol med no problem, no RX needed, just know what you want and the correct dose. It is possible the Ativan could be a controlled drug, there may be stricter rules for that but I am not sure.

Do you really know what's in the pills you get in Mexico?

We have purchased meds in Nuevo Progresso Mexico for many years without any issues. So do many of our friends.

Better read the link, Ativan is on the controlled list.
