Mexican pharmacies require a prescription for Alli, the over-the-counter weight-loss medication available in the US. You cannot legally purchase Alli without a prescription from a licensed Mexican doctor. This prescription must be from a Mexican doctor, and it should specify Alli by name (orlistat).
Finding a Doctor and Obtaining a Prescription
To obtain a prescription, consult a doctor in Mexico. Many clinics offer online consultations; verify their licensing and legitimacy before engaging their services. Expect to discuss your medical history and weight-loss goals during your consultation. The doctor will assess your suitability for Alli and issue a prescription if deemed appropriate. Remember to bring your passport or other government-issued identification for verification.
Purchasing Alli with a Prescription
Once you have a valid prescription, you can purchase Alli at licensed pharmacies in Mexico. Check the pharmacy’s legitimacy and look for a clear display of their licensing information. Always examine the packaging for tampering or signs of counterfeit products. Compare prices between different pharmacies before purchasing to ensure a fair price.
Important Considerations
Be aware of potential language barriers; consider bringing a translator or utilizing translation apps. Understand that Mexican pharmacy regulations may differ from your home country’s regulations. Always keep your prescription and receipt as proof of purchase. Understand any potential side effects of Alli before starting the treatment. Consult your doctor or pharmacist with any questions or concerns.
