Youngtimer Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Below is a translation I received from a friend. If anyone knows how she can get it please post here, Thank you! "methotrexate, it is a drug for rheumatoid arthritis, I have not been able to get it and I know that she was able to get it, I don't know, or some pharmacy would like to hear from her to see if He could inform me because I already finished mine and it is important to get it because it is a shot that I have to always have I always appreciate if someone gives me a reason for it or said someone knows about methotrexate because I cannot find it in pharmacies it is out of stock" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I can't tell you where to get it but I am providing some links that may help. The first one gives you the option of putting in the country (on the right) to find out what it's called in that country and all forms of availability. I am in the same boat with Micardis Plus which hasn't been available for months. Farmacia Maskaras was most helpful with another brand that has the same ingredients. https://www.vademecum.es/equivalencia-lista-metotrexato+tabletas+2%2C5+mg-mexico-l04ax03-1143863-mx-B-49_1 http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/drug-info/Methotrexate.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtimer Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Thank you Ferret, I can see how the links would be helpful. She is a local Mexican. I just thought maybe a foreign resident has found a way to get it non locally. The local drug stores are out and they should have a cross reference for the drug.

Ferret Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 They should but won't go to the trouble if someone doesn't specifically ask for alternatives. That's why I recommended Farmacia Maskaras. Customer service above and beyond but talk to the Jefe there because the younger man knows boodiddleysquat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of Farmacia Maskaras, Lulu, is usually at the store in SAT, a half block west of the SA Hospital. She knows everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 She's the best. She also has the old Farmacia Maskaras in Maskares. Her son runs that farmacia. At least he did the last time I was there. He is quite knowledgeable as well. But no one compares with his mom, Lulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many years here, I have never met a better or more knowledgeable farmacéutica than Lulu, except for Hector Marquez, who is long gone.

He will even deliver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 You could be right, gogirl. I just remember that when Lulu opened her second pharmacy that she told me that her son would be running the old Maskaras pharmacy. But that was quite a while ago. .
