Mexico Prescription Medicine

Mexico Prescription Medicine posts cover a long-running cross-border practice in which Americans buy certain medicines at Mexican farmacias for less than the US retail price. Articles look at the legal grey area for personal-use imports, the categories of drug that genuinely require a Mexican prescription versus those sold over the counter, the regulatory differences between Cofepris and the US FDA, the risk of counterfeit pills sold to walk-in tourists in border towns and the difference between a chain pharmacy and a small family farmacia. The category is reference only and several articles direct readers to a US-licensed pharmacist for any real decision.
