RE: State Medical Care Coming to the USA, People Flee to Mexico
Jeff, the mainstream media in the US has reported that up to 25 percent of the medications available in Mexico are counterfeit and substandard. Is counterfeiting a problem there for pharmaceuticals or is that just more fake news?
In Mexico there are many similar medicines, they are medicines that your patent is free after a few years and other laboratories manufacture them at a lower price, provided you buy medicines in regulated farms will be no problem.
thank you for your comment. :-)
100% fake news. How else can they justify such a ridiculous difference in price? Just as an example: Lisinopril, a common drug that lower blood pressure, quantity of 30, $276 in the US (with a prescription), $50 pesos in Mexico, $2.73 USD (1 USD =18.31 pesos today). And honestly much better if you don't take any pill (high blood pressure is very common in the US, too often a result of other pharma drugs downside effects).
Thank you the information. I had no idea the price difference was so big!
