Medications from Mexico and Canada
Here are some resources for purchasing medications from
Mexico and Canada. We have not tried these resources ourselves. If you
decide to use them please let us know
if your experience is good or bad.
Note: Checks at the border are more stringent. Border
officials are more likely to enforce quantity restrictions. Read Information

Update: From Cindy, who lives in Green Valley six months
of the year and gets her medications in Nogales.
I have dealt with the Farmacia de Jesus pharmacy
and their prices are lower than others in the vicinity. However,
you now need a prescription or your empty prescription bottles to bring
this back across the border. They do not provide the prescription.
I have checked the prices at Farmacia San
Francisco and they are much higher than others in the area. They
are right on the US/Mexico border and will not dispense any meds without
a prescription from a US doctor.
There is also Farmacias Benavides, www.benavidesdrugstore.com
that has multiple locations. You can order online and pick up your
order in 3 days and also pay with a credit card.
Heads up:
A few RVers have had scheduling problems in the past with Dr. Camacho's
staff in Algodones. When Tom and Mary arrived for a long awaited
appointment, the staff told them they did not have one. Tom and Mary drove a
considerable distance to this appointment, only to be told the doctor wasn't
in the office and that they couldn't have made an appointment for that day
-- even though they had an appointment card for that date. Advice: If you
use Dr. Camacho, confirm your appointment if you are not staying locally. Since
this, and a related incident, took place a couple of years ago, things
might have changed; but, be forewarned.
