Health Alert: Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals (March 17,2023)
The U.S. Department of State is aware of recent media reports regarding counterfeit pharmaceuticals available at pharmacies in Mexico, including those tainted with fentanyl and methamphetamine. U.S. citizens are reminded to consult our Country Information Page for Mexico and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control , which include some of the following information regarding pharmaceuticals in Mexico:

Pharmaceuticals

Exercise caution when purchasing medication in Mexico. Pharmaceuticals, both over the counter and requiring prescription in the United States, are often readily available for purchase with little regulation. Counterfeit medication is common and may prove to be ineffective, the wrong strength, or contain dangerous ingredients. Medication should be purchased in consultation with a medical professional and from reputable establishments.

The Drug Enforcement Administration reports counterfeit prescription pills are sold by criminals on both sides of the border. These pills are sometimes represented as OxyContin, Percocet, Xanax and others, and may contain deadly doses of fentanyl. Counterfeit pills are readily advertised on social media and can be purchased at small, non-chain pharmacies in Mexico along the border and in tourist areas.
