New: Read about dental tourism in Nogales
One of the most popular reasons for tourists to visit Nogales is to purchase low-cost, discounted pharmacy medications.
Mexico has its own version of the FDA, which controls the sale and distribution of prescription and non-prescription medicine. Its regulatory structure is very similar to that of the United States, with drugs being classified in levels from products like vitamins or herbal remedies (which can be sold at any store) to addictive and potentially harmful medications like opiates.
Mexican law requires that certain types of medication can only be purchased with a prescription from a licensed Mexican physician. And if you plan to purchase such medication in Mexico, be aware that there are also requirements that U.S. Customs will enforce at the border, such as a valid prescription from a U.S. doctor, in order for you to be able to bring the medicine across the border.
To read more specific details about purchasing prescription medication in Mexico and bringing it back across the border, and to see additional pharmacy listings and information, we recommend that you check out related information on the Planet Nogales website.
Most pharmacies in the border shopping areas of Nogales Sonora can be seen right after crossing the border, in Plaza Pesqueira (pictured above). There are other pharmacies intermingled among the curio shops on Calle Campillo and on Avenida Obregon.
