Remi Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Joco Gal, I recently had a very bad few bouts with asthma and actually ended up going to hospital in an ambulance and spending the night on oxygen in the emergency ward. Friends purchased a plug-in oxygen fabricator at Guadalajara Farmacia and since battery-powered machines are so expensive in Mexico, ($5,000 American) I bought a little machine at the auto supply place near Walmart that plugs into your cigarette lighter in the car and allows you to plug in electrical devices. There are two medical supply places where you can buy or rent oxygen tanks or oxygen concentrators as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The medical supply place going west just about at the top of the hill leaving Ajijic, lakeside has oxygen equipment. There is also a little liquor store in that same plaza if you know where that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 my wife rented an O2 compressor unit from them. They will deliver and set-up. They will replace and repair for the duration of the rental. You should choose a unit that mixes fresh water into the O2 to reduce dryness.

sm1mex Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 If you are on long term oxygen, be sure you also have a humidifier attached to the machine. Oxygen is very drying and needs to be humidified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are oxygen concentrators, which are machines that do not require refills, and oxygen tanks that do. I don't understand the thing about 650 pesos/day. Must be some mistake.. I rented a concentrator from them for a while for 500/month before I bought my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
