prescription drugs
Truly sorry if this is a oft repeated topic, but I was unable to find a thread, so, please bear with me.
A trip is being panned thru the south americas starting from san diego and I need pills to stay above ground, does anyone feel that travelling with them (and documentation) should be a problem, and what about sourcing prescribed drugs along the way in major centers, thx. and while I'm at it thanks to all involved for putting the Nakusp gathering together, great weekend! |

Medicine in Mexico
It depends on what medicine it is. Here in Mexico you can get almost everything, except anti-biotics, over the counter. If you can tell me what you are taking I can check availabilty here and prices. The drug may have a different name here so you may not feel comfortable taking it.
When I liveb in brazil I used to take a year'ssupply of medicine with me but I only took 1 pill a day then. those were the days! If you come through Mex City we will be happy to put you up and show you around. Garry |

It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be! As you are in San Diego I think the easiest thing for you to do is cross the border with your meds or the package it comes in and ask at Drug Stores.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |
