Buying drugs from Mexico is common as pharmacy chains have sprouted all over Mexico!

In border cities it is common to encounter Mexican pharmacies in a two block stretch.

Don't put off contacting your doctor about obtaining permission to purchase your medicine in Mexico. If the doctor refuses then that's it, end of story. You may be on a drug that is an ultra sensitive life-support medication.

Your doctor probably suspects that Mexican drug stores are fraught with counterfeit merchandise and inferior quality medicines. When in doubt, don't take chances!

Medicines cannot be mailed or shipped from Mexico to the United States. U.S. Customs and the U.S. Postal Service inspect all arriving packages and medicines are excluded from the list of allowable items. You must declare your medicines at U.S. Customs. You may be asked if the medicines are for individual consumption. Only the person who is to consume the medicine is allowed to be in possession of the medicine upon entering the United States. It is illegal to sell, give away, dispense, prescription medicine. Orders from phramcies like Mexican Pharmacy even can't be shipped, although Mexican pharmacy is a well-recognized name in America.
