We went to Mexico last week and they carry our prescription meds over the counter at such low low prices. My question is does anybody know if it is safe to use their meds, are they the same components?

Like I said we went to Mexico and it was just like a Chevy Chase Vacation. It doesn't say on the US side that your drivers license is not enough to get back in but it sure does on the Mexico side. You are supposed to have 2 forms of ID, and BC for the kids. God I was never so glad to be back once we convenced them we were Americans, and theses are our kids. But while in Mexico we went to a fancy restaurant considered by the locals to be really expensive and the best food around but it was only $8.00 each. I got sick off the food. :(

We went to the old market but had to ride a bus to get there and with no stop signs and no street signs he just floored it and went, I don't think he new where the brake was. While at the market we got lost in the maze of turns.We had to ride a bus back to the border and he drove with both feet, just as scary, leaning out the window while driving with one hand and high fiveing a friend. And heard of catching a bus well you had to catch this one he just opened the door and slowed down. We had to hold on to a stroller during all of this!!! We had to walk across the border or pay $25 for a taxi on way and the drov e worse than the buses. Got some good deals but I'm not in a hurry to go back but hubby is :rolleyes:

Anyways one of my meds is $132 here and less than $10 there!! WOW

If there ok any body need some when we go back let me know i'll pick em up and ship em to you. Me without insurance its a big break for me.

Have you been using these meds all along, or is this something new? Does the packaging say who they are made by? Are they made in the US and sent over the boarder? I would be leary of using the meds if I didn't know the source. While I agree in the US they are way too expensive, at least we have the FDA regulating drugs ensuring the pill are what they say they are and are generally "safe" to take.

Be very careful of this, a week or so ago on tv, and I dont remember what news channel it was, they were discussing drug prices, getting them from Canada, Mexico, etc., and they said definately do not buy from Mexico.
