maldenmusic Posted March 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2014 can you purchase any drugs over the counter- example- ****** -lipitor etc etcand if so -what's the cost? Prescription drugs are available all over. Going downtown there will be a better selection than in the shop at the pier. Prices are cheaper than in the US.

sail7seas Posted March 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Verify quantity that is permitted to be brought back to your home country. Antibiotics can be purchased for personal use without a Rx. Any narcotic would require a prescription and you should verify if it is legal to buy and carry them home.

CutestLittleEvil Posted March 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Verify quantity that is permitted to be brought back to your home country. Antibiotics can be purchased for personal use without a Rx. Any narcotic would require a prescription and you should verify if it is legal to buy and carry them home. Antibiotics require a prescription in Mexico, now, under penalty of a large fine to the pharmacy. A law was passed a year or so ago and it isn't enforced much in the border towns, but at the Playa Del Carmen and Cozumel at the piers it has been. I tried to purchase a Z-pack in Feb. 2014 and I was not permitted to without a Mexican Physician prescription. I could, however purchase all the prescription skin creams I wanted. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted April 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just returned home from Riv Maya and there are no antibiotics being sold now. I was able to purchase lasix and sumitriptan (imitrex) along with Retin-A, but unable to get Z-Pack, Amoxicilin and Tretracycline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfer Posted April 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2014 How much were the tubes of Retin-A, and how many could you purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted April 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How much were the tubes of Retin-A, and how many could you purchase? The larger tube of Retin-A was $32 US. I didn't ask about a quantity, but I don't think there was a limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enver been told about a limit on Retin-A and have brought back several at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afairbro Posted April 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 18, 2014 how about lorazapam? can you find that in Cozumel? or Roatan? or Belize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted April 19, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2014 how about lorazapam? can you find that in Cozumel? or Roatan? or Belize? Email Bobbie, one of the owners of the Discount Drug and Souvenir shop (top floor of the downtown Diamonds International) and ask if they carry it. I think I may have seen it in the past but not sure. ferbambam@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
