Nogales Pharmacy Prices

For starters, most new medication brands (those that are not available in generic form) most likely are not for sale in Nogales, Mexico. And if they are sold in a Nogales border pharmacy, the price will probably be similar to what you would pay in a pharmacy north of the border.

A main reason for this is that the new prescription medications that you see advertised on TV have either not been approved for sale in Mexico, or the pharmaceutical company does not allow its sale there.

The best deals you will find when purchasing medication in Mexico are for generic forms of drugs that have been on the market for some time, and that were made at a Mexican drug manufacturing facility. And because most Mexican pharmaceutical manufacturers also export to the United States and other countries, their facilities are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that the medications are made in places that follow stringent FDA requirements.

Oftentimes generic medications do not work as well as the original drug, however. Even though they have the same active ingredient molecule, the inactive ingredients may differ in a way that makes them less effective for certain patients.

All medications are pre-packaged, and the selection of doses are also oftentimes limited. So, for example, if you need a 100-milligram daily dose of your medication, you may have to purchase equivalent amounts of 25-milligram or 50-milligram tablet packages.

So, taking all of this into consideration, it can be very helpful if you are able to check to see if the medication is available for sale at a Nogales pharmacy, and have a general idea of the Nogales pharmacy prices for the medications you want to purchase. That way, if you do not have any other reason to visit the border you can look for less-expensive domestic medication alternatives.

For that reason, we have started taking an informal Nogales pharmacy medication survey every month or two. We get requests for some of the more popular medications that may offer lower-cost alternatives to U.S. pharmacies, and contact a pharmacy to do a spot-check to confirm whether the prescription drug is available for purchase in Nogales, Mexico and if so, provide a sample price.

Generally if one pharmacy sells a medication, then most of the others do as well, whether they are located in Plaza Pesqueira, on Calle Campillo and on Avenida Obregon.

Before coming to Nogales to purchase medication, we recommend that you make some preparations to make your trip go more smoothly. Read more.
