> Mexico sells antibiotics over the counter don't know what else or they did in the 80's not sure a good idea as too many antibiotics not good develope tolerance to them and you would never know the organism responsible for your infection if it was an infection and not a virus. Phillipa

This is another thing I was going to get to -- rampant use of medications that aren't always in your best interest or the interest of the community around you in the case above.

There's a reason why you go to a psychiatrist, hopefully a good one -- through discussion and possible psychological testing you get an actual diagnosis that then can be attacked with various palleative(s) (medications) that will make you happier.

It may be fine and good to have Imodium (that took a little stretch too of the FDA) and Maalox and Sudafed (ugh, don't start me about the meth-heads) and Benadryl on the shelves although even all the above can kill.

I won't give anybody the actual name but the most deadly commonly used substance is OTC and is a godsend for fevers and goes by the brand name of Ty*****. Not a very nice way to go, at the bottom of a liver transplant list. Dont.


Basically what you're asking for is self-diagnosis which we all banter about in a way on here, to the extent of possibly having the ideation of ordering from www.illegaloverseasgetyourviagra.com.

If you want unlicensed medical practice just take a drive south of the border to a rural part of a place not like Nuevo Leon but staffed by people not quite board certified..


Oh, and patent extension -- of course its patent extension. Who do you think Lexapro OTC would be made by? I'll give you one guess, Forest Laboratories. For the next 17 years, or however long they can persuade an exclusive OTC. They'll still be taking your money, only it will be your cash directly, somewhat but not completely less than the prescribed set price because the advertising budget has been half spent basically already, and will not be insurance paid.
