Hey everyone!

So I had a question about pain medications in/from Mexico.

For those of you that had your surgery in Mx did your doc give you a prescription to pick up pain medication there? What about acid reducers?

I am a student so I don't really have a PCP, I just have emergency care and spontaneous appointments at student health care. So I don't have any one here to get medication from. Or even remotely cheap. My copay is125 for all prescriptions :

Thanks!

I'm not sure about Mexico, but I had to pay for my own pain meds (crappy insurance) and it was like...4 bucks for the bottle of liquid vicodin. It's pretty cheap stuff. That was at CVS.

When I was there with Dr Kelly, he supplied Antibiotics, pain meds, and acid reducer for us to take home, although I didn't need the pain meds. I'm sorry I don't recall what the pain med was called, but it isn't the strong kind and they give you a few days worth on it. I'm not sure if they still do this with all the changes, but I am guessing they would. You can shoot an email off to him to ask him.

in Mexico, the doc gave us 1 month of acid reducer and gave us a script for pain and additional acid reducers. the pharmacy was directly across street, we ladies took a field trip over...I had no pain so I for went the pain drugs. Dr. Aceves was my doc....Awesome

I was with Dr. Kelly also and given my meds.

Dr. Almanza supplies you with pain medicine for 30 days as well as an acid reducer.

The pain medicine was the generuc form of Vicodine.

Dr Fernando Garcia supplied all the post op mess as well.
