Bandol Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yes. With a prescription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 It's one of the controlled drugs, meaning you must have a prescription. The pharmacist is required to stamp the back of the prescription, have you sign it, and they keep it. So for refills you have to come in everytime with a new prescription.

Bisbee Gal Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have been told that controlled drugs cannot be prescribed by every doctor here. That they need a special license. Also been told that Dr. Lastra in Ajijic (on Constitucion) has the proper credentials. I don't know any of this as fact, others may have more info.

sm1mex Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Check with Ivan. Farmacia Maskaras directly west of the closed Maskaras clinic in Riberas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Think it is called Lozam ( Lorazapam) down here and any GP can prescribe it. Does not have to be a special pain doctor to prescribe it. Available at Guad Farmacia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks for all the information. So I can buy it here. My cousin wants me to mail it to her in Canada that may be the difficult part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusMactavish Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Passing the crime, eh. Make sure you tell them they are transporting a controlled drug for someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhn237 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 To avoid all this rigamarole, why doesn't your sister get the Ativan in Canada. With a doctor's prescription, not a problem, and not very expensive. Be advised it is quite expensive to buy in Mexico!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Ativan is, or can be, an addictive drug. That is why it is controlled. Don't be The Pusher Man. Maybe she should try medical cannabis. Has helped a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Atavan is quite addictive and maybe the doctors in Canada know something about her that you don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I was going to suggest that Alpha1 however it's going to be hard for me to recommend a company in Canada. I'm hoping others can make some recommendations. I know, for example, that NuLeaf cannot ship to Canada and they are always my recommendation. Regulations. Anyone know of a reputable CBD company in Canada that is third party tested? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
