For those of you that do, next time you are anywhere outside the US; check out the phamacies. They have all sorts of vitamins and herbal preparations and natural products. The one thing I thought was interesting, was I had a layover at the airport in Jamaica once so I hit the airport liquor store. They had a wine for women that was fortified with iron. In Central america they have these bags of loose tea for all sorts of medical conditions. Also, (I get bad reactions to narcotics, so pain killers are not for me), everywhere else in the world (outside the US and Canada) pain killers are not just given out for the asking.

In Guatemala I was purchasing MS Contins over the counter when my husband hurt his back. You could get anything. Mexico use to be like that but no longer for narcotics... but anything else you want no RX required.

Guatemala, on my list, but have never been yet! Was in el salvador last march.

Speaking of which, www.medsmex.com seems to be unavailable anymore. Any other reputable online pharmacy in Mexico. Canadians are a bit more pricey.

Lots of men in black with big guns there.

How long were you there and for how long? I heard el salvador was dangerous and had no problems at all.
