We will have a party of 18 leaving for Mexico the 22nd. Many in our party take prescription meds, some of which include Adderall, Xanax, anti-depressants, the diet pill Phentermine, and a nightly shot a lady must give herself for osteoporosis. What are the rules regarding bringing prescription meds into Mexico? I have read some horror stories of people being thrown in Mexican jail for trying to bring different things in. Thanks!

Taking anything TO Mexico won't be an issue.

If anyone buys let's say, xanax, while in Mexico and tries to bring it back, you'll definitely get effed with if us customs decides to single you out and search your suitcase (about a 2% chance of that happening).

As long as their meds are labeled, they won't have a problem.

As long as the meds are labeled with THEIR name they are good to go.

This is the dumbest question of all time. Not only can you take anything you want to mexico, you can buy anything you want in Mexico for much cheaper prices without a prescription at the Pharmacy's.

Wally asked the question because she didn't know....and you were an ******* to her for no good reason.

I don't give a **** how many times you've been Mexico for your off brand horse roids, you were an *******. You could have just answered her without being an ******* to her. Well...that's probably beyond you, but the average decent human being could have.

How's that lake wi-if working out for you loser?

For the most part, you can purchase prescription medications in Mexico without a prescription. You can also cross those meds back to the US. That’s why thousands of people cross the border to Mexico – purchase discount pharmacy drugs. Sometimes, the savings are up to 80% on certain meds from Mexico. This is especially helpful if you don’t have good prescription medication insurance. Pharmacy management software is of no importance here. The only exception is you can’t bring back meds that are on the controlled substance list. Also, many of these medications in the controlled substance list are not sold in a regular Mexican pharmacy. Furthermore, the meds from Mexico have to be in their original containers. Border agents could check for the packaging to verify contents.

Phentermine is an incredible diet pill. I’ve never taken it, but I know people that have and the difference is incredible. Any in your party have any heart issues since?

You were right. Even more mortified since the OP is an awesome poster and from what I hear a great *** kicking softball coach. Sometimes I post without thinking, and I just read the post and laughed at the premise because Mexico is clearly not at all concerned with what people bring in. I apologize.
