  • Medical tourism to Mexico from the US is huge, with an estimated three million inbound medical travellers in 2020 alone. Medication is cheaper in Mexico than the US, and you can buy most drugs without a prescription.
    While most people are able to find the care they desperately need, some are also buying cheap unregulated medicine without knowing it’s fake. The ingredients can be completely unknown and in recent years, the DEA have seized counterfeit medication laced with the deadly opioid fentanyl.
    Reporter Tania Rashid explores the murky underworld of black market medication in Mexico & LA.

      ok but the black market is made up of more than just what you’d get from a underpriced healthcare so therefore this is irrelevant

      @TravisMcMurray Před 2 lety +24

      I’m a bit confused by your response. That quote regarding the black market was made in reference exclusively to pharmaceutical products. If you’re arguing that the black market, in a general sense, is made up of more than products and services related to healthcare, you are correct. Certainly anything can be offered on the black market as an illegitimate or illegal sale. What I’m not understanding is the “underpriced healthcare” reference. Help me understand your logic. I’m also having trouble with the part of your response that says, “…so therefore this is irrelevant.” Exactly what is irrelevant?

    When I was a heroin addict... I hated my stuff being laced with fentanyl because it was just a fast high and it went away quick. Yeah it got you really high, but if you have a habit, it's really hard to overdose, But then there's kids that haven't used and they think it's a Roxy 30, never to wake up again. It's pretty scary. I'm so glad I left that life behind. I've been sober for three years, I have a good relationship with my higher power now. All opiates did for me was put me in prison for 3 years, in jail for 5. It's a horrible life, and very addicting... I always wanted to feel good. I never knew that eating healthy and working out makes me feel way better than any of those drugs ever did.

I'm so glad this is starting to come to light. 4 years ago I searched & searched for news reports of this kind of thing happening elsewhere.

She clearly gave him the 10mg diazepam tablet and he tested it and the test even said 10mg of diazepam. So it was exactly what it was sold to her as and 10mg is a normal dose for diazepam. Xanax/alprazolam comes in a bar not a tablet and they didn't even test it. I almost got physically sick when I read the caption that said he had a PHD.

    For the last 30 years you could go to a doctor and say “it hurts here” they would give you pain killers. Now that they realize half the country is addicted the governments bright idea is to take away half of the people’s prescriptions away. Leaving them to either go through withdrawals or do whatever they can to fill their habit. Instead of putting money into actual rehabs to help people get off the drugs.

      Facts bro. Big Pharma needs to be held accountable. They told doctors that less than 1% of people using opioids for pain relief got addicted. And pushed extended release Oxys. When people would go through withdrawl, Big Pharma would tell doctors it’s called “pseudo-addiction” and it’s “not real addiction, their body is dependent on the drug, but there’s no psychological addiction,” so any time patients were exhibiting symptoms of addiction, doctors would think it’s not real addiction. Meanwhile big Pharma KNEW it was addictive to 100% of people, and if you take opioids consistently and long enough you will be dependent on them. But they would compile data of doctors writing prescriptions, and give kick backs to doctors who were prescribing tons of Oxys, and send sales people to doctors who weren’t prescribing Oxys to explain to them that there is “minimal danger of addiction, and they’re safe to use.”
      85% of people who are now addicted to heroin/fentanyl/opioids in general, were originally prescribed by a doctor! They were trusting their doctor to help them with their pain, and now they are labeled a junkie by society. It’s fucked!

      The info was the only thing that was partially accurate and even a lot of that was wrong. Cartels are not putting fentanyl in fake pills that people don't know they are taking but buying for $2 a pill, they want repeat business and s profit. They sell fake pills to people that cost them 15 cents a pill to make and they sell drugs packaged as medicine for people wanting to buy drugs and they sell that for a lot more money.

    Well it is concerning but, as a Mexican I should say: You have to be on a high level of irresponsability to buy medicines in a tianguis (street market) here in Mexico City, even the poorest, the most ignorant people go to a Big Chain of phramacies like Farmacias Similares, Farmacias del Ahorro, San Pablo, etc., there they get a prescription by an exploited doctor, but a real licensed doctor. And they buy medicines that are inspected by COFEPRIS (the mexican equivalent to the FDA) medicines whose patent have been released, if the patent has not been released they say it to you. The first pharmacy the guy in the video visited looks plain crappy, I wouldn't buy anything there just to avoid being robbed, let alone buying fake medicines. No licensed pharmacy would ever, ever sell to you individual pills in a bag, you have to buy the jar or the box, it's forbidden to sell individual pills. The pharmacy shown at the end of the video I can say it's legal, the quality of the medicine you can get maybe won't be the best, but you can be shure it wouldn't contain Fentanyl or rat poisson. A legal pharmacy in Mexico would ask for your prescription with the signature of the doctor and would require you an identification (voter ID, driver license, professional license, passport) to buy any Bezodiacepines (Xanax, Valium, etc.). They would call the doctor to ensure he/she prescribed that medicine to you. I beg to Americans to not think this country is as shitty as you think, we have lots and lots of problems, but we aren't as lawless as you think, if you ever came to Mexico for medicines take into account what I say, get a medical checking and prescription in Mexico is not expensive, you can verify the doctor is licensed in the website of the Dirección Nacional de Profesiones, you enter the number in your prescription called "Cédula Profesional" or abbrevriated "Ced. Prof".

I believe that addicts are being targeted and it's no different than murder and an attack on American's on American soil. Our government obviously doesn't care. We need to throw the full weight of the American military at the opiate problem and wipe out and/or tightly regulate the chemicals that are needed to process these drugs.

      Tbh, all they did was a commercial for cheap drugs in Mexico. Addicts going through their struggles, honeslty won't care as long as it "works", and how they showed some of the drugs being even stronger....yeah,cheaper and stronger equals more money flow...thats what this felt like

    I will tell you as a person who's had 3 back surgeries plus 18 others... I have been on pain management for 26 years and for 21 years I have taken the long acting narcotics architects from a doctor at a pharmacy in America.
    My husband retired the 1st of April.. Now our insurance doesn't want to cover one of my medicines and it is under A review. I had to write a letter saying why I needed it and after 9 pages I gave it to my doctor... Well my husband did and it was sent with all my medical records and such goods and such for it to be determined whether II am needing it as a necessity which I am because I have degenerative disease I have degenerative disease and was turned away from a pain clinic !
    Why was I turned away from a pain clinic? Good thing I asked! They said I was only going to get worse and needed to follow up with a position for opioid pain management which is something they don't do in most of the pain clinics in California.
    Honestly I think I'm going to be going to that shop you went to and got that 10 mg xanax and just break it into 4. I don't care what's in it anymore as long as the pain goes away and the anxiety of it all
    But when insurance that call that costs us 500 to a $1000 a month.. That the federal government covers 72% of... That means they are getting at least $52000 a year for a family of 3. You're gonna deny my medicine? I'm headed to Mexico!
    Here's the difference... You look at the Box you look at the seals you look for the hologram you look at the pills and then when you get them after taking them for 21 years I can tell you that I know what they taste like I know what they look like so I'm not afraid
    But what's sick is in our country not only do the pharmacists have the right to say they don't feel comfortable filling your prescription... And they didn't go to the colleges and universities as long as my doctor did nor have they practiced as long as my doctor has!
    I have degenerative disease and just like they said at the pain clinic the aint clinic the reason they gave me was because I was only going to get worse! After 3 surgeries and a broken fusion I have degenerative disease and just like they said at the pain clinic the aint clinic the reason they gave me was because I was only going to get worse! After 3 surgeries and a broken fusion... There is no legal reason why I cannot get this medicine. I can pay for it but it's a $1000 out of my pocket a month and after OPM stole $60000 if my husband's retirement I'm thinking that you're show show needs to deal with how many federal police officers that protected presidents vice presidents wives of presidents and vice presidents Air Force one Air Force 2 governors governors and Congress Congress and the senate as well as top secret stuff And beyond for being in space force and part of VIP protection... I would like to know how the h*** these people are allowed to screw up government personnel when LAPD pays over $75000 per officer per year who retires? My husband worked for the Department of Defense for 38 years!! 24 years as a federal civilian employee who is also a veteran of the armed forces!
    So when you're a legal user of these medications do tell me how the insurance can all of a sudden say no you can only take one pill A-day when you're supposed to take 3?? I paid for 1 month out of pocket while I'm waiting for this appeal and it cost Over $300. Do you really think that former people that used to protect the highest positions of people in the world deserve deserve to be treated like this?? Maybe I'll get lucky and get a fentanyl pill and it will kill me. Then I don't have to beg for medicine anymore
    And by the way I've been on the same dosage for 12 years before that I took oxycontin by my doctor at 20 mg because the tendon work, Then after 5 years I went to the 20 mg, Then to the 40... Then I brought myself back down to 20 mg and asked him to change it because I got tired of being looked at like some kind of drug addict.
    I was put on morphine also known as MS contin
    I took half of what the equal dose would have been going from oxycontin to morphine and took 30 mg instead of 60 and it worked better. I have not asked for any increase in medicine and I do not lose my prescriptions. It is OPM involving themselves in something they ought not be involved in
    And FYI am very Easy to find because I used to work in television and film putting police dumb putting police and military and other technical tactical people in television and film for realism including 24 and many other shows.
    My name is Patricia Homan Davila And you can find me in contact me through IMDb.
    Blessings and I hope you take this to heart because there are thousands tens of thousands may be even hundreds of thousands of officers officers putting their lives on the line every day for these people who are gonna end up with $17000 a year for retirement after 25 years of service!
    Then they're going to take your medicines and make you beg for them..
    Making Mexico a very real option

    Sounds great to not need a prescription lol but I just want zolpidem for my insomnia! I get 3 a week from my doc along with alimemazine, 2 a night. Guess that is better than nothing! Never been a piller-tripper and I never will be. Have taking the same meds for 4-5 years, not addicted. My preferred drug is alcohol lol.
    Edit: I'm from Sweden so it's cheap af with a prescription, actually the zolpidem (that is classed as a narcotic) is cheaper than the alimemazine who is not classed as a narcotic lol. like 6 bucks for 30 zolpidem and and about 17 bucks for 100 alimemazine.
