prilosec US 30ea $150 Mex.120ea. $38
cypro US 20ea. $108 Mex. 28ea. $16
flagil US 30ea. $26 Mex. 100ea. $11

Just a question: I had read that there is no FDA or other regulation of drugs in Mexico, and that a drug that is labled one thing can actually be anything else - the case I read about was someone had purchased Vioxx and it was actually rat poison. Is this true?

With no regulation, how can you tell? It may be just the placebo effect.

My goodness, I hope no one is taking cypro "just in case." According to my doctor, it should never be taken unless you have symptoms.
