Diane613 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I should have mentioned that we don't live there yet. We are moving at the end of this month and I need to be sure we can get my mom's medications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I bet most medicines are available down here, and often much more economical than the US. I don't know about Canadian pricing. If one of the medicines is "Levothyroxine Sodium" at a dosage of 25mg per tablet, it is much more economical here than in Seattle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Np Thyroid 30 Mg Tablet NP Thyroid is natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) derived from pig thyroid glands. As far as I know, no NDT medications are available in Mexico. This includes NP Thyroid, Armour Thyroid, and Naturethroid from the States, and Erfa Thyroid from Canada. Only synthetic thyroid medications are available here (like Eutirox = T4 and Cynomel = T3). Better bring a supply of NDT from the States if you're visiting... Suerte, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Menudo Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Have you considered how the altitude will affect her COPD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Ask at a few different Farmacies. And then beware where you buy the medications. A urologist I saw last week thought part of my problem may have bee because i bought my medicine at Walmart. He said some farmacias sell products that are supposed to be the same but are actually inferior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
