I purchased AZO in Mexico and was told it was a combination of a sulphur based antibiotics plus pain reliever for UTI. Does this actually contain antibiotics or is it just like the US brand Azo, an over the counter pain reliever for UTI? ## Hello, Kirsten! How are you? I'ms sorry, but I can't find any information on Azo from Mexico. Is there anything written on the packaging? I realize it may be in Spanish, but that's fine, if you can post back with anything it says. The U.S. formulation of Azo in the standard formulation is listed as containing Phenazopyridine, it is used to alleviate the pain associated with UTIs. The typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include dizziness, headache, indigestion and itchy skin. ## Until I can get back to the U.S. I need ...

Is Roche Valium , Pfizer Tafil XR, (extended release alprazolam), and Scherling-Plough "Temgesic" still stocked in a Mexican Pharmacia, say in Puerto Vallarta, or in Los Cabos Pharmacia's?????I I have USA scripts for Roche Rivotril, but not for Roche Valium or the bupe 0.25 sublingual tabs, that were available 5 years ago. Is it a hassle to get a Mexican MD to write up a script for 3 dozen pills of each? I plan on staying in a 5 star hotel spa, in case they make office calls, like they used to do in Argentina high roiller hotels........anyone got any recent data on the scoop about scoring benzo's in these resort cities in Mexico? I also really like "Temgesic" to withdraw off of Oxycodone, and it is getting harder to find the past 6 years...(Buprenorphine). I have...

The other side has an imprint of a long slender d, a short c, and another long slender h. dch There is a imprint of a beaker/flask above the c and it's all surrounded by a circle. We think it might be codeine but not sure. Would like to know what it is. Thanks.

Am wanting to get Simplex. This really helped me with my anxiety! how can I find this? ## Hi Jannova, I haven't come across any medications by the name of Simplex that are said to help with anxiety. The closest match I found is a product called "Sab Simplex" (Simethicone); which is used as an anti-foaming agent to reduce bloating or discomfort caused by excess gas in the stomach & bowels. Do you have any other details about the 'Simplex' that you're referring to? Perhaps you may be thinking of a different medication altogether if it's something that can only be bought in Mexico. I hope this helps!

Hi, I've learned a lot from other people's experiences on this site over the last few years and wanted to share my experiences with something that comes up on here from time to time, and I hope that I can somehow help out somebody out there wondering. I live in socal (south of LA), and have been taking Lyrica (pregabalin) for fibromyalgia and migraines for about six or seven years now, and it would not be exaggerating to say that it has really changed my life. It's an incredible product, and the only thing I've tried after ten or fifteen years of doctors trying me on everything and mosf things they tried either not doing anything or else just making things worse. With no generic alternative available in the US, I have to pay $217 every time I pick up a refill (28 pills p...

Does this medication help your muscles relax? ## Bencoprim (Cyclobenzaprine) is a long-acting muscle relaxant and pain killer. It works by acting in the brain and nervous system to allow the muscles to relax. Ref: MedlinePlus ## It may give you very vivid and weird dreams, but I use it as a sleep aid and it knocks me right out. ## What effects are there when taking bencoprim with xanax? ## What color and shape is Bencoprim? ## I bought Bencoprim in Mexico, over the counter. Do I need a prescription in the US? Please let me know.

Is Voydol-C (Ketorolac + Tramadol) still available in Mexico? If so, does it require a prescription? ## Yes it is, just got some today and I didn't need a prescription. ## What is the difference between the tramadol pills? Like what is the difference between the one side being yellow and the other side green and some are white? ## If a pill or capsule such as Voydol-C contains two ingredients (e.g. Ketorolac + Tramadol), it is my thinking that each ingredient would be separated and represented on each end of the pill (having their own respected color depicted on the outside of the pill). For example, I've seen this in OTC cold medicine such as Mucinex DM whereas the Guaifenesin + Dextromethorphan are each represented in two separate colors on the front/back of the tablet (yellow...

Looking for Darvocet (Propoxy-N/APAP) ## Looking to buy Darvocet in Mexico. I live in Kansas City, USA ## They used to sell Darvon Simple (65mg) out of Mexico, blister packaged. The last time I was in Mexico you could get Darvocet, but only at certain farmacias. Darvocet 65mg/325mg (Acetaminophen) ## I don't understand why you'd want to take a banned drug? It was banned because it put patients at risk of abnormal or even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. Doesn't that scare you from wanting to take it? The link below has more information regarding Darvocet being banned: I hope you are able to find another alternative that does what you want it to! For your safety I would suggest asking your local pharmacist about other closely related drugs.

Has anyone had success getting their scripts filled in Tijuana, Mexico? I've heard from a couple people that it's a walk in the park. Too many American drs are too afraid to prescribe meds. I've heard u can go to a pharmacist there and get a script and fill it at the same pharmacy. Anyone else had success? Also, I've been on oxy 60mg for over 5 years. What's my choice from here if my insurance stops paying for it in the new year? Its $1,280.!!!! I can't afford that. Is there a med comprabable to the oxycodone? I need something as strong if not stronger. Please help! Super scared ## If you get cut off your pills you can switch over to buprenorphine or methadone.

I just moved to San Miguel de Allende Gto Mexico... Will I still need to have a doctor prescribe Tramadol or does it not require a prescription in this Country? I had 11 knee surgeries in the last 3 years. Good news, I'm not in a wheelchair anymore!! Thanks so much. ## @Pattykakes, As far as I know from reading other's reviews, Tramadol allegedly does not require a prescription in the event that you obtain it directly in Mexico "in-person". I think the only problem lies with those who try to go on the internet and search for it that way - since they are still in the US and therefore have to abide by US laws and regulations. However, I speculate that even if it does require a prescription in Mexico, there's widespread rumor that their doctors tend to be more lenient w...

I am looking for a doctor who will prescribe phentermine 37.5 mg from mexico for weight loss treatment.. Is it legal to obtain it through mail order, if that's at all possible? ## Hello, Kat! How are you? A U.S. doctor cannot prescribe a Mexican medication. They can only legally prescribe what is approved by the FDA for use and sale in the U.S. Additionally, as long as that medication is available here, or an equivalent is available, it would also be illegal to order it via mail for import. The only exception would be if you were visiting that location, a doctor prescribed it there and then you were returning to the U.S., in such a case, you could bring back up to a 3 month supply. Phentermine is available here, as a name brand and a generic, so there is also no need to obtain it fr...

Would like to know where to get a prescription filled for 100 Oxycodone 30ml ## Why go to Mexico to get them or ordering them from there? I get 150 of them each month from my pain management DR.. If you suffer from severe pain you may be started on the 15MG Oxy's for a few months then raised to the 30MG tablets. If you aren't needing them for pain but just want them for recreational use then you may have a hard time getting them since the DEA had nothing better to do in 2012 than hassle DR.'s and restrict their schedule 2 prescribing ability for those type of drugs. However, if you have real pain issues and have your past records to give to the doc, that helps save the docs rear end cause he can show proof the patient has severe pain issues.

k-3 pills in purple color would like to know what is in them and can and where in U..S texas can we get them? ## still do not see the ingerdents in k-3 pills on any of the sites ilook at that you said to look at. ## I'm sorry, is K 3 the marking on the tablet or the name of the product? Narrowing down what a foreign medication is can be very difficult, their markings are not logged with the FDA like U.S. prescription medications have to be. I found a pink K 3 tablet that is from the U.S. and is a 3mg Dilaudid tablet, that contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, it is a potent narcotic used to treat pain. Could this possibly be what you are referring to?

I take one about every week, can I safely increase the frequency? It seems to be less effective fthan when I started using it. ## Artridol contains the active ingredient Glucosamine, which is a supplement claimed to help with joint health. As such, it is not a medication and is not actually proven to help with anything. That said, most of these supplements are taken daily, rather than weekly.
