PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION IN MEXICO

One of the primary questions that travelers on Trip Advisor and various social media forums continue to ask are: do they need a prescription to refill their medications while in Mexico?

I decided to reach out to one of the physicians at Hospiten Riviera Maya for an answer.  

His response: In Mexico, the only medications you need prescriptions for are antibiotics and psychotropics. 

The bottom line is that you should be able to get most of your medications here in Mexico without a prescription.  However, not all pharmacies may have what you need, so you may have to check a couple of pharmacies to find your medication.
