Is Oxycontin available over the counter in MEXICO?

Question

Hi. My husband has a condition called Fibrous Dysplasia so he has been taking oxycontin for a few years. We don't have insurance & it's about $500 per month.

I live in CA close to Mexico. Can I buy it over the counter there? And if so can he just put what he buys in his own oxy bottle before crossing the border back to CA? I'm confused as to how it works or if he could get in trouble. Thanks a lot for your advice!

P.S. He does have a legal prescription for it here in the US if that makes it easier.

I can't specifically say about Oxycontin but I would suspect that you could find a pharmacy to sell it to you. I think they are fairly slack.
