Mary Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Have a question.... If we bring Canadian medical presciptions with us to the Chapala area, can any Farmacia down there fill them for us or do we need to be seen by a Mexican doctor & then have him write the necessary prescriptions? Thanks. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 You only need the generic name of the medication and, unless it is a controlled substance, any farmacia will sell it to you. If it is a controlled substance, you will need to see a local MD with authority to prescribe such items and you will need his prescription; the one from home won't fly.
