Such as antibiotics, Thyroxin, meds for rheumatoid arthritis?
I have actually been prescribed Thyroxin and I also have rheumatoid arthritis so these drugs are something I take daily.. I also work in hospital, so follow-up is always there. I was just looking for a reliable alternative for buying more of these drugs.

Mexico,but I don’t think it is legal to cross the border with them.
A good friend of mine lived in Cairo Egypt for a few years. She said that you can go directly to the Pharmacist and tell him the issue you are having. And he will give you the prescription drug you need on the spot.
Mexico…….you do need to claim it when you cross the border, unless you’re very very sneaky.
There is NO country that I know of that will sell(pharmacies) prescription drugs to an indivudual without a prescription.. One exceptionthat I know of and have used is MEXICO..Even that is not an exception because many of the drdugs they sell require a prescription. Many of the drugs in the U.S. that require prescriptions are not required in Mexico and also in a number of other counrries…. depends on the drug.
Mexico, for one. This includes a lot, but not all, prescription drugs. For example, not even they sell OTC narcotics. U.S. Customs will allow you to bring back only a three month supply and you must state to them that is for your own personal use only!! However, many of the Mexican Pharmacies are starting to get smart, and reserve a lot of the drugs they used to sell cheaply to “gringos” for internet sell, where they fetch a much higher price.
Every developing country I have been in is somewhat lax about enforcing the proper distribution of prescription medicines. However, it is usually more difficult to get narcotic-containing drugs legally in these countries, even if you have a prescription.
In Egypt for example, you can walk into a pharmacy and get chemotherapy vials and no one will even blink. But if you had a prescription for morphine containing pain killer, you wouldn’t be able to fill it easily. A 10 year old can walk in and buy antibiotics and hormones, no questions asked.
Your crazy to try to take that stuff with a prescription let alone without one.
In India! Anything is possible in India. And you also get generic drugs at half the price of the branded ones, with NO quality compromises. If the pharmacy does not have a particular drug, dont worry, it wil be out sourced for you and even home delivered!!! for a few pennies more….
Manufacturer, in original contianer, Brand name and generic, (non-narcotic) medications can be safely & legally obtained without Rx for personal use only. Company has guidelines, restrictions, and limits.
In Venezuela. definitely. You can buy here almost everything without a prescription!!! Its easy for the patient but complicates things for doctors. Because we need to solve the complications after all those patients having wrong drugs and treatments without supervision.
