Mexican Pharmacies

[BigJohn]

Has anyone had any success ordering from Mexico? They seem to have some good prices.

I know a few friends in SoCal who drive to Mexico twice a year and stock up on Meds that otherwise would cost them a fortune here in the States.

I think you are playing w/ fire on this one. No telling what you're getting. I live just outside of phoenix so I know some people that know some people that have gone over for some of the more expensive cancer drugs w/ some success but there is zero regulation...so buyer beware. Personally I'd have to be destitute before going this route.

In general, if you GAVE me any drug from Mexico I would not use it. Anabolics from Mexico are very low quality. I have seen many infections that have occurred due to the usage of various anabolics from Mexico. If you don't treat an infection promptly, many times it will turn into an abscess, which will require minor surgery. Other pharmaceutical drugs are typically low-quality as well, due to literally non-existent quality control. Furthermore, to illustrate my opinion, if you offered me 5 10ml 200mg/ml bottles of Testosterone Cypionate for the $100, I would turn it down.

For the last year I have been using Sostenon 250 and I have had good results! My Testosterone levels went from low 400 to mid 800. Of course if you get it at a street level place for sure, use common sense and buyer beware. But if you get it from a pharmacy like I have, speaking from experience, I don't see a problem with it. So many elderly uninsured people drive across to Canada to obtain medications that they cannot afford in the US. Why should Mexico be any different.

It's different because Canada has stringent regulations and quality control.

Several states are now making it legal to buy medications from overseas pharmacies. I am so happy about that. Yes, there may be quality control issues but I am sick and tired of how we are abused in this country with excessive pricing by pharmaceuticals

 

[Dave Barry]

One should not assume because a pharmaceutical product is coming from a pharmacy that it is a quality product, nor legitimate. In fact, fake/illegitimate drugs are routinely found in distribution centers as well as pharmacies in the United States. Therefore, when you look at pharmacies in Mexico that have far less stringent laws and regulations, you are looking for trouble when purchasing their products. I'd imagine, I have seen over 100 bodybuilder's over my 30 years in the health and fitness field that have purchased drugs from Mexican pharmacies, only to need urgent care due to infections. Again, I have seen the problems up-close, not just through rumors. Here is an example, of counterfeit drugs being sold in Mexico as reported by the FDA. http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/...tyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm151048.htm

However, I agree with Nelson, that we are certainly getting screwed often with exuberant prices and I am fed up as well. Fortunately, I am able to procure much better prices on my prescriptions than the vast majority of the public by a long shot. I will simply say that I have learned to "work" the system, better than they work me. Therefore, I am never in a situation that the prices are killing me.

 

[BigJohn]

Nelson that was the reason for my post. We're getting screwed in this country by big pharma in so many ways. My Uroligist has me on daily Cialis and it's very expensive. I've had to resort to going overseas.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Yes, there is no way to afford daily cialis unless your doctor diagnosed you with benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostatic enlargement). That is why many men use overseas websites

 

[Dave Barry]

One point that many guys don't seem to comprehend, is if you're buying an inferior, dirty, under-dosed, and/or counterfeit product, it's not a "deal." Over time, if we have enough members who purchase drugs from other countries, we'll slowly be able to develop a list of legitimate pharmaceutical products, sold at a discounted price. Regardless, I'd be willing to bet that drugs such as Cialis and Viagra are some of the most often counterfeited products on the market. Additionally, counterfeit drugs are typically produced in non-sterile environments, with unapproved ingredients so many times you are risking your health/life to save a few bucks.

Here is an interesting article from the FDA on counterfeit drugs that discusses 1. Toxic effects 2. Unintended effects, and 3. Ineffective treatments: "Drug Safety and Availability > FDA Initiative to Combat Counterfeit Drugs": http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm180899.htm

 

[Nelson Vergel]

I agree with David. Luckily, some of us know when cialis or viagra is real.

 

[JWSimpkins]

Nelson, how do you know for certain if cialis or viagra are real?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

I know nothing for certain since I do not spend money having things tested for quality. I get my erections which is really the only endpoint that matters

^^^^Exactly and same here!

 

[Brian Farro]

I have to order my armidex from overseas due no script my doctor isn't going prescribe it, now I'm stressing out ugh

 

[Michael Frank]

I have some Cialis? and would be willing to pay to have it checked out if someone can refer a lab that can check potency. I will post the results and recommend the website if it comes out legit.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Arimidex (anastrozole) and cialis are not controlled substances so I would not worry about legal issues unless you are buying so much that it makes you look like a dealer.

Michael, why don't you do the research yourself and call any of these companies (Eagle, Cape Cod, etc) to find out ? http://rnshowcase.com/showcase.php/catid-113/catname-Analytical Testing-Quality Control

 

[robs2nd75]

Anastrozole is so cheap you would have to be insane to get it from illegitimate sources. Tell your Dr. that you feel T wearing off around day 4-5 and assuming labs come back at least high normal they should be more than willing to prescribe.

I've used NorthWestPharmacy.com.
With good results.........Generic Alternative Cialis 10mg (92.00 pills) Cost $232.34
They are out of Canada.. I believe they are regulated pretty tightly.
I've received every order for the last two years?
