Los Angeles health officials caution travelers against purchasing prescriptions over-the-counter in Mexico.
Los Angeles County public health officials on Tuesday issued an alert warning Angelenos that some pharmacies in Mexico have been selling counterfeit medications containing fentanyl and other narcotics.
Pharmacies south of the border have long been known for selling a wide range of medications over the counter — including many that would require a prescription in the U.S. But experts had generally believed those pills were what store owners said they were.New testing by Times reporters has revealed that some pharmacies in cities across Mexico sell counterfeit medication tainted with fentanyl and methamphetamine.
The Times first reported on it in February, after purchasing and testing pills from independent pharmacies in three cities: Tijuana, San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Using at-home test strips, reporters found fentanyl or methamphetamine in individual pills sold one at a time in each tourist destination — but the testing was limited to northwestern Mexico at the time.
