JustJamieH Posted October 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2010 does anyone have any experience with buying medications in Mexico? specifically, Progreso or Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcroxyoursox Posted October 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2010 My friend did this last year in Cozumel. You have to know the generic name and the dosage/strength as sometimes they vary. I thought I read on here awhile back that they're cracking down on those without a prescription. If you have one, best to bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted October 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Have bought them in both Coz and Progreso-the prices were comparable and I had no problems. I'm only buying Retin-A which I know is a prescription item but somehow I don't think they are watching too hard for people trying to smuggle in acne cream. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabee Posted October 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2010 first of all, they still have the "old" version which was eliminated in the US but works much better. second...price I buy 3 for $20 which is the same price as my co-pay at home. Do note, I have no experience in Progresso with meds, but I found the prices on the mainland are much cheaper then at Cozumel. And...enjoy Progresso...it is a wonderful place to spend the day and not nearly as "touristy" as Cozumel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiflshots Posted October 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have bought them in Cozumel several times and never had any problems. We always get some Z-Paks to deal with sinus infections. Have seen many people buying cardiac meds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES07 Posted October 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2010 My mother in law always buys her heart meds and her diabetes meds at the drug store at the end of the pier in cozumel. But, last time when we were there a guy in the store, i think he worked there was trying to get us to by street drugs from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m steve Posted October 4, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2010 but with Walmarts 90 days for $10 It is cheaper if you use generics to shop at home. There is a large pharmacy at 1st and the main street that is supposed to be good for some drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
