Can I Buy Norco in Mexico?
Norco® (
hydrocodone/APAP) is a prescription narcotic pain medication. Because it is a highly desired drug of abuse, people in the United States wonder if they can buy Norco in Mexico, especially because pharmacy laws and regulations in Mexico are not as strict as in the United States.
Is Buying Norco in Mexico Illegal?
It is perfectly legal to buy Norco in Mexico, provided you have a valid prescription from an appropriately licensed and registered prescriber in Mexico. Although prescriptions are not required for many medications in Mexico, controlled substances such as Norco require a prescription.
A legitimate, reputable prescriber in Mexico will not prescribe Norco for recreational purposes. He or she will want to see documentation that you are under the care of a legitimate United States medical provider and that you have a legitimate medical need for the drug. Also, a legitimate and reputable prescriber will be hesitant to prescribe large quantities of any narcotic, including Norco, especially to a foreigner.
Similarly, a legitimate Mexican pharmacy will not let you buy Norco without a prescription from a legitimate Mexican prescriber.
What About Mail-Order or Internet Norco From Mexico?
This issue is quite clear. It is illegal to ship medications from Mexico to the United States. Most Mexican "pharmacies" that are willing to fill mail-order or Internet orders for Norco are not legitimate. This is because a valid prescription from a legitimate medical provider in Mexico is necessary, and it is illegal to ship medications to the United States. Buying Norco from a Mexican mail-order or Internet pharmacy is no more safe or legitimate than doing so from a mail-order or Internet pharmacy anywhere else in the world (including the United States).
