Prescription drugs from Mexico and Texas border are common, as pharmacy chains have sprouted all over Mexico!
In border cities of Mexico it is common to encounter four or five 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, but usually you can trust a Mexican Pharmacy
. Mexican pharmacy even delivers the drugs wherever you are.
Prescription drugs are passed on from the border areas mainly because drugs are cheap here and good quality cheaper generic alternatives are also available.
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.
