JustStartin Posted February 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Do you have to go outside the fence in Belize to find a pharmacy or do they have any inside the fence? Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moopigsdad Posted February 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Inside the fence. I was able to get a tube of Retin A (for acne and wrinkles) for $15! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellybutton Posted February 23, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Inside the fence. I was able to get a tube of Retin A (for acne and wrinkles) for $15! I picked up a couple of tubes of that a couple of years ago when we were in Belize. We just didn't have time to look around to see what else was offered.

clackey Posted February 23, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2008 We picked up ampicillin in Coz, PDC and Belize. I also saw a sign in Belize advertising Viagara 30 for $90 or 1 for $4. Since you only need 1/2 pill, that is $2 a pop. ;) I did the math. I love this country!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mush71 Posted February 23, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ok I am new to this buying meds in Cozumel but would like to check it out. Do you have problems getting back on the ship or getting off in the US with the meds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandytoes57 Posted February 29, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Does anyone know if the pharmacy in Belize is open on Sunday? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoolUKnot Posted March 1, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I would think it would be open anytime a cruise ship was in port. Zydecocruiser has some pictures at the pharmacy on his website: http://www.zydecocruiser.com/valor_06/BE/pharm/pharm.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno3 Posted March 19, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My son was just given a prescription for Benzaclin (it's for acne). It is a cream. Does anyone know if I can get this in Belize? We had it filled but I have two refills. Our cost is $30.00 per perscription. I looked at the pictures in the previous post and did not see it on any of the signs.

dem1958 Posted March 21, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Are these safe and real? I thought I saw Meridia in there. Here it costs $125.00 for 30 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterboatingdotcom Posted March 26, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 26, 2008 My wife buying drugs in Belize - much cheaper than Cozumel and no problem getting back on the ship. This place is right in the terminal when you get off the tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolaAlive Posted March 27, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2008 In general, I think most of what they sell are generic formulas of the name brand stuff. As an example, Meridia is a brand name for sibutramine and sibutramine is what they probably sell, which is why it costs less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerchild Posted March 27, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I got Xanax and some very strong diet pills back in 2002. As a slightly older and wiser person now, I would not recommend buying prescription drugs that are not prescribed for you. The diet pills caused a personality change and brought on symptoms of depression. My dr told me that they can even bring on dementia. Never again. I'd rather be chubby. The pharmacy I went to was run by an American and was located in the port "mall" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graceinga Posted March 30, 2008 #17 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I found several medications we take via prescription in those pictures and the prices are much better than here in the states. Do we know if it is legal to buy them? Any problems getting back on ship or through Customs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseheads1 Posted April 7, 2008 #23 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Since this is generic it can be purchased cheaply here. If you go to Walmart or Target you can purchase it for $4 per RX. I do not know if you will save that much based on that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know it was that cheap ... my dad needs it and his medical insurance just dropped, so I thought I would check it out while I was there.

nolaAlive Posted April 9, 2008 #25 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Always check prices before you go. $4 prescriptions in the US are typically for a 30 day supply. Drugstore.com is another one you can use. Of course, to purchase in the US requires a valid prescription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
