Lou Quillio Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I've been treated for hypertension since age 21 (thanks, Dad). Went in to have my wisdom teeth extracted while in the service, and they wouldn't cut me. Who knew? Have taken something for it ever since. Problem solved. These days I'm taking a beta blocker called nadolol (brand name Corgard) and am looking for a pharmacy that carries it. Farmacia Guadalajara doesn't, so before I scour the area, does anyone know of a pharmacy that does? Thanks. Mail order is probably where I'll end up, but for now I need a local source.

chapalence Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Your best bet is Farmacia Mascaras in Riberas. Ivan goes to Guadalajara regularly to get meds not always available locally. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I posted information in Mexico general forum last week about how to find medicine in MX. Type Comprar Corgard or Comprar nadolol in your search engine. If medicine is available in MX it will tell you where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I second Ivan and Maskaras Farmacia. If it is available he can order it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LQ Go see Gabriela at Farmex....it's the plaza just west of Panchos in Riberas. She can get almost anything and everything. She will help you. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have access to near zero-cost RXs in the States, so I don't need to buy locally ... yet. But the research is eye-opening. They tend to prescribe the latest and greatest in the U.S., whether necessary or not, because it's reckoned you're not spending your own money anyway. Then there's the racket where a 25mg formulation is dirt cheap, but the price for 50mg is 10x. Same BS happens around here, too. So far from god, and so close to the United States.

The racket runs deeper than generic vs. brand name, I'm afraid. LQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
