In contrast to the above-mentioned benefit you
may face certain disadvantages if you are buying drugs from Mexico. The
drugs available in Mexico are often without any directions to use. Even
if the directions are mentioned it is most unlikely that the directions
are in English. There is an uncertainty whether the drugs were stored
properly or made in a desired manner so that they do not become unsafe
for use.
Customs allow you to get drugs from Mexico provided they are meant for
personal use and are not meant for the purpose of storage to build up
stocks. You need to make an authorized declaration at the customs after
taking drugs from Mexico. The quality of drugs need to be of high
standards and it is always better to check the expiry date. Also make
sure to take a receipt from the Mexican pharmacist providing you the
prescribed drugs. If possible consult a Mexican doctor before taking
drugs from there to be on the safe side. Last but not the least, the
prescription should be your own and not meant for someone else. If
possible try to minimize self-medication and consult a physician for
proper medication.
