Question:
Has anyone bought their vitamins and protein supplements from Mexico?

My parents are snowbirds in Arizona and have asked if I needed any meds when they take their trip into Mexico (actually just across the border). I am 3 wks preop and thought that since I would be on chewable w/iron, calcium citrate and some form of liquid protein for a the rest of my life, it might be worth getting from Mexico. I would think it would be a lot cheaper.Any advice or suggestions??    — [Anonymous] (posted on February 20, 2002)

HI there, I have another suggestion. WHy don't you check out some of the online canadian pharmacies. They might be cheaper too. Good Luck

I would advise against getting any vitamins or medications from Mexico. You cannot be sure of the quality-or even if you're getting what the package says you're getting! I've been to pharmacies in Mexico and have seen some really questionable stuff. Anyway, are vitamins in the U.S. really all that expensive that you want to sacrifice quality?

If you have a good insurance plan you can get prenatals and they are cheap or free to you.
