Medicines from mexico?

Question

I am traveling to Cancun in Aug. I want to know how much antibiotics am i allowed to bring into the states?

Answer 1

Many  people  from  the states  go to  Mexico  to  buy  medicines  because  they  are  way  cheaper in  price. I  would  trst  the  medicine  before  I  trust  the  water  that's  for  sure- "xjoizey".I'm  not  sure  how  much  you  are  allowed  to  bring back  without  a prescription. You  could  probably  get  away  with  a  couple  boxes of  Penicillin  in  your  pocket  or  purse  as  long  as  you're not  too  suspicious looking.

Answer 2

Whatever your prescription indicates. Many antibiotics are sold in Mexico without prescription, or you can see a local Doctor for a scrip. Bottled water available everywhere, purified ice too. This isn't your grandma's Mexico, its a civilized country.

Answer 3

If you can't drink the water, why would you trust the medicine ?

Answer 4

I cross the border at Progresso and Reynosa with medicine quite often.  As long as you don't have a large quantity of drugs you will have no problem, just make sure to declare them and don't try to hide them.  A two-three months supply will be no problem.  You can find a list of drugs that you can bring back on the immigration service website.

Answer 5

Is that even legal?
