beshears Posted January 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I use face products that have Rein-A in them. Is it possible to pick up any products in Cozumel, and where, and would it be cheaper than in the states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted January 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I haven't in a few years, but I always did at various places. At the port.... At the American Drug Store..... At the Mega Store pharmacy (the best prices when I last purchased). They come in various strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marazad16 Posted January 7, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2020 cozumel drugstore . com Bobbie is the owner. she has the best prices, Bobbie is Canadian so no need to speak spanish and bonus, she keeps her A/C on at night when many other pharmacies do not. Heat is bad for meds and creams. She is very helpful and stocks 3 strengths of Retin-A at very reasonable prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted January 8, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Marazad16, thank you for that information. I was just with some of the others that will be traveling with me tonight, so each day is getting us closer to the cruise, and I can check this out. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Blessings Posted January 31, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Do you remember what the Retin A cost? Or a round about estimate for how much cheaper it was to get it there than in the states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting 6 tubes for the price of 4, which was the current promotion. They are 20 gram tubes at $10 each. This is for the generic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullofship Posted February 2, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Can anyone tell me if I need a hard copy of a prescription from the doctor to purchase things in this store? Like eye drops? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, they only require a prescription for Mexican citizens per information I received from the pharmacist upon our last visit to Mexico.

melissa84 Posted February 21, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We went to Cozumel Drugstore last summer - very nice people, great prices. At that time they mentioned that if you contacted them ahead of time they would have your order ready and you could just run in and pick it up. We spent about 45 minutes there, debating over the Retin-A, and also looking at inhalers. Now that we know, I would just contact them ahead and run in. We have also bought inhalers at Mega ($4/each! ) but not the Retin-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate P.C Posted February 23, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Mega downtown has products with Retin-A. And definitely cheaper then US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom has COPD and uses 4 different inhalers daily (not sure off hand what they are) and would be happy to pick some up for her.... THANKS!

We bought Albuterol inhalers - the brand we get here is Pro-Air. The pharmacist put them side by side and showed us that they were the same. Cozumel Drugstore has a website, so you might look to see if they have other brands/medications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
