These differences highlight the fact that even though the labeled dose for thealbuterol inhalers may be the same (100 µg for each of the Mexican inhalers), thepharmaceutical product performance is not necessarily the same. This is because theproduct performance (respirable and nonrespirable mass) is a function of theformulation composition as well as the metered valve size and actuatordesign.16-18 Differences inthese product characteristics will affect the atomization of the formulation and theresulting final aerodynamic particle size distribution. For the products tested inthis study, the average weight of an actuation was different (Assal, 59.2 3.8 mg;Sacrusyt, 67.8 1.8 mg; Ventolin, 74.7 0.9 mg; Victory, 83.3 1.2 mg; Xeneric-S,88.3 3.4 mg). Thus, there are clearly differences for each product with respect toformulation and device attributes, and correspondingly, it is not surprising thatthere are differences in the product performance between the brands tested.
It is illegal to bring into Mexico some over-the-counter medicines commonly used in the United States, including inhalers and some allergy and sinus medications. Specifically, products that contain stimulants (medicines that contain pseudoephedrine, such as Actifed, Sudafed, and Vicks inhalers) or codeine are prohibited.
Ask your local dentist in Mexico or a reputable pharmacist to verify if the meds you are buying are in the controlled substance list. Also, many of these medications in the controlled list are not sold by Mexican pharmacies in border cities such as Los Algodones. They are also highly regulated in Mexico. A Mexico pharmacist can lose his license if he violates legal Mexican rules regarding the sale of these types of controlled meds.
The medicine for the inhaler comes in individually foil-wrapped plastic vials. Each vial is good for 7 days after removing the foil. You can save a little money by only buying the actual inhaler once, and buying refill packs thereafter.
Medicines Mexico eliminates the financial burden behind buying medicines. Unlike in the traditional or local pharmacy stores, Medicines Mexico offers you the medicines that will make you feel better instantly without inconveniences. The price is good and the quality is also guaranteed.
Hola I'm traveling to Mexico for a few months and I plan to bring along with me a prescription for my asthma inhalers. I am also bringing a small supply of it with me however I figured keeping an extra prescription on hand would also be ideal. My asthma is very mild and I only use it maybe once or twice a month. Is this something I can take to the pharmacy to buy or is it something already readily available to buy over the counter
Red inhalers require a script from a Mexican Doctor, some pharmacies will have a doctor on hand but for some reason not all will issue scripts for red inhalers unless you have been a patient with them for some time.
Albuterol & Flonase should be widely available but it is best to know the generic names when you go the the farmacia. If you give them a piece of paper with Fluticasone Propionate and Salbutamol Sulfate on it they should be able to fix you up. They will look for translation if required. I usually use a lot less of my inhalers than I am allowed but will get repeats more often than needed so I have a stockpile to bring with me.
If health products are purchased outside the country, individuals need to be aware of the potential health and financial risks (loss of product, purchase/shipping costs) associated with this activity, particularly when buying drugs, natural health products or medical devices online. Health products sold online may be cheaper and easily purchased but riskier because they may be counterfeit (i.e. "fake"), contain the wrong level of an active ingredient, contain toxic substances, or even be past their expiry date.
It can be difficult for Canadians to determine if an internet store is located in Canada, as some sites may appear to be operating in Canada, when in fact they are not. For example, internet stores may have Canada in their name or include a symbol such as a maple leaf that could lead one to assume it is a site operating within Canada. Avoid buying health products from questionable websites. If you have questions about whether an Internet pharmacy is legitimate, contact the licensing body in your province or territory.
So I recently read on the website for the US embassy in Mexico that some prescription drugs are illegal to bring in to the country, even if you have a prescription, because they are controlled substances. It even said inhalers are on that list. Problem is, I can't find a list that states that Albuterol is not allowed in. I do know that there is serious consequences for bringing in certain drugs and they'll arrest you at the airport. Is there anyone who had gotten in to Mexico with Albuterol and not gotten in to trouble!
Page 4 of the above link (first post) has links to the different lists, or you can find it all on one page here: -mexico.com.mx/cgi-bin/ctarnet/notas_ex/listas_cap29.html (this link is from Mexican Customs or aduanas)
If you saw articles about some inhalers being a problem, note that those are over-the-counter products for congestion containing psuedoephedrine, a pre-cursor (can be made into meth and probably other things). Pre-cursors have been added to the narcotics lists (which is what is in the link above).
You take Advair every day at the same time and use it as a preventative medication for asthma attacks or COPD. Further, if you are considering buying Advair in Mexico then you should be perfectly comfortable doing so. Do not be hesitant thinking the pharmacies in Mexico are not as effectively regulated for safety in the same way they are here in America. Mexico is a much more advanced and modern country than many people will be aware.
However, it is important to only take the medication exactly as directed in your existing prescription for it. Provided you do this, buying Advair in Mexico will be perfectly fine. You may even be able to get refills for your Advil inhaler from a Mexican pharmacy with more convenience.
It's no secret that prescription drugs can be expensive in the United States. In fact, they are often among the most costly items on a person's healthcare bill. So, it's not surprising that many people seek out less expensive alternatives, including buying prescription medications in Mexico. But before you cross the border to buy your meds, there are a few things you should know.
Buying medication in Mexico is a personal decision so I will share my experience and you can make your own decision.Prescription medication in Mexico is readily available in border towns without visiting a doctor. Many Americans stock up on standard items like antibiotics, z-packs, allergy tablets, and erectile dysfunction tablets.We have personally purchased steroids, antibiotics, eczema shampoo, and albuterol rescue inhalers in Mexico.
Medications in Mexico are made with the same active ingredients at a fraction of the price. It is a great option to save money on recurring prescription medications.The medications we purchased in Mexico were substantially cheaper than prices in the US with medical insurance.My generic albuterol rescue inhalers were less than $10 each in 2022 in Ensenada Mexico and were $38 each at a US CVS using GoodRx discounts.
We have traveled in Mexico numerous times. We have been able to buy just about any meds as long as they are not controlled substances. Just be sure they are less expensive that what you can get at home. An example is I was able to get my adult son inhalers, the same as he takes, and got 3 for $12. There are some great deals.
Buying Prescription Drugs: The U.S. Embassy recommends that U.S. citizens not travel to Mexico for the sole purpose of buying prescription drugs. U.S. citizens have been arrested and their medicines confiscated by Mexican authorities when their prescriptions were written by a licensed American physician and filled by a licensed Mexican pharmacist. There have been cases of U.S. citizens buying prescription drugs in border cities only to be arrested soon after or have money extorted by criminals impersonating police officers. Those arrested are often held for the full 48 hours allowed by Mexican law without charges being filed, then released. During this interval, the detainees are often asked for bribes or are solicited by attorneys who demand large fees to secure their release, which will normally occur without any intercession as there are insufficient grounds to bring criminal charges against the individuals. In addition, U.S. law enforcement officials believe that as many as 25 percent of the medications available in Mexico are counterfeit and substandard. Such counterfeit medications may be difficult to distinguish from the real medications and could pose serious health risks to consumers. The importation of prescription drugs into the United States can be illegal in certain circumstances. U.S. law generally permits persons to enter the United States with only an immediate supply (i.e., enough for about one month) of a prescription medication. 59ce067264
