State Medical Care Coming to the USA, People Flee to Mexico

in politics •  8 years ago 

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!
