Her name is Ximena. Sorry for the error.

Not necessary. The Big Pharms (Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, etc) produce the same drugs but market them under different names in different countries. I think Tylenol is Panadol in British countries. So if you ask for Tylenol, say, in Singapore, they wouldn't know what it is. Worse if you are in non-English speaking countries.

Yes, this has been a source of annoyance when traveling globally. Trying to figure out what a particular medicine is called in whatever country you're visiting. Sometimes using the "official" name helps. Like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Google is sometimes helpful when looking for the different brand names for a particular drug.

She's about 5'4, average build with a few tats, pretty face, braces, nice, clean, pleasant.

She really enjoys sex, groaning, hissing.

The bros should try her, sexier than most bar girls.

Funny, I traveled all over the world and never had trouble except twice returning to the USA through Laredo, Texas. CBP decided to search my bag, took out my pill box and examined the pills carefully. Luckily I labeled them (I sometimes forgot which is which too).

What do you mean?

You have a choice to use a generic, that's up to you. And most insurance (if not all) will lean you hard towards a generic in the form of a much lower co-pay over brand name.

I don't see propaganda at work here. Just ignorance of choice.

I take a stunning amount of pills every AM post stroke and a few other things, have been traveling the world for 5 yrs now with a stuffed gallon zip lock bag of them in my backpack, no nation has ever blinked at it.

I noticed that many countries including Mexico use generic drugs instead of brand name too. We are kind of brainwashed by Big Pharm propaganda.

Elizabeth walks around. But she is rarely out. A friend says that she hangs out by the Taco stand by Ninos Heros & Cohuilla st. I normally arrange a meeting before I head to Tijuana.

Does she walk around or stand on the wall somewhere?

Yessir.

I got stuck in Singapore during the SARS scare for a few months. Work just opted to keep me there. I was on fewer meds, but had only packed for a week. Lesson learned.

But. If I had to, I have pictures of everything, and anything I need can be purchased dang near anywhere OTC in MX or TH where I'm generally found away from home. Any decent Pharma can understand the label.

Thank You!

So your 7 day planner is full then you have extra pills in brown prescription bottles that you can pair with those pills in your planner?

Thanks.

7 day planner plus the bag of bottles. If I get stuck somewhere, Ive got a few weeks to 3mo worth of kit.

One thing to remember is that all generic drugs are not created equal. There is different classes of generic drugs. This one reason why the US has limited the mail order import of prescription drugs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4519628/).

True. Buyers of generic drugs in Mexico should at least research the labs which they come from. From my experience buying meds in Mexico the laboratory where it comes from means a lot. I never shop at one of the off beat pharmacies. Always somewhere like Gusher (first choice) Or Roma Etc. Stick to the big names.

Do all your pills remain in the brown prescription bottles or have you tried carrying them in daily pill planners? I hate having to carry too many bottles which takes up space in my carry-on.

Thank you ClamSlammer. I will make a decision tomorrow.

My medicines are vitamins and a pill box with basic needs like Advil, Aspirin, Benadryl, Melatonin, laxative, Pepcid AC, etc. I learned a hard lesson twice. The first time I had a severe flu as soon as I arrived in a remote town in Thailand. I could not communicate the medicines I needed because USA Brands were not available in Thailand and I didn't (still don't) speak Thai to tell them my ailment. So I basically stayed in my hotel room for 3-4 days until the fever broke. The second time was in Germany. Again, I had a fever but the German pharmacist did not know what Tylenol was. He understood that I have a fever and sold me something. The instructions were in German so I didn't know the dosage instructions. I had to take a guess. After that, I always carried a pill box whenever I travel. However, for this trip, I should have left it at home.
