UCLA working with LA Times found counterfeit prescription drugs laced with fentanyl at pharmacies in Mexico. I know people sometimes go there to get prescription drugs and it’s easier because a good deal of the time you don’t actually need a script. People have mentioned it on our forum. I would not be trusting getting pharmaceuticals there. Canada is probably a better alternative for now.
