List of perscription drugs you can buy in Mexico?

[Thunder_Mountai]

I'm pretty good at searching the Internet, but this one seems a dead end. Does anyone know where to find a list of prescription drugs that you can buy over the counter in Mexico?

They did an undercover news story on how the meds are made from India and it was real real bad. They found concrete, sand etc in the meds! I would NEVER buy anything from India.

I have gotten Synthroid from Mexico and my friends gets their insulin from Mexico. Each store has different items you have to go into each store.

My meds here are $150.00 for a months supply, Mexico was $2.00. Same stuff and they are made in a real pharmaceutical facility. Unlike India where they are made in someones stone house basement.

Reason not to want to use pharmacy's from India, calls. Haven't bought from them in a few years but still get almost daily calls from them, you can't get them to stop. I don't want to be on their lists.

If so what are some good sites to go.
I will not be able to get to Mexico but would like to try their medicines online. Thanks for any suggestions. Not interested in the ones from India or other countries.

That's strange.... why Mexico and not India? Are you aware that the U.S. drug companies manufacture in many countries?

Darsben1 basically answered your question. It's not what you can purchase, it's what can legally be brought back. The CBP here have said they will only stop a controlled drug. So if your drug is NOT a controlled Rx, then your pretty safe on bringing it back. Remember one thing though, the CBP pays a reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone trying to bring back a controlled substance and the Mexican counter help at the Pharmacias know this, so don't even try it.

What you can buy and what you can bring back are 2 different questions.
Example; Tramadol a class 2 narcotic is available Over the counter. It is illegal to bring back to USA.
Perhaps if you ask about specific RX's someone can answer.

Question might get better response in the RVing in Mexico forum section.
Some prescriptions are sold in Spanish and manufactured by a different maker, so you may have trouble finding a proper cross reference.

I cant answer your question exactly without searching myself. As I understand it you cant buy controlled substances without a scrip and this includes some strong antibiotics.
