In Brazil you can buy almost any medical drug in a drugstore without a prescription. For some drugs you need different kind of prescriptions: antibiotics just need a regular prescription, some others will need special prescriptions that are only available for doctors who have applied, and so on.
So, yes, things were hardned few years ago.
- copperx 9y agoYou don't need to go that far from the US. Mexico had the same situation until a couple of years ago. You could buy antibiotics without a prescription, and many US citizens living on border cities made quick trips to Mexico just to do so when sick.
- mbrumlow 9y agoI have been sick over 10 days. I can't get anybody to give me antibiotics. I am going to a new doctor today to see what can be done. But this is not the story I wanted to share. When I was in middle school I had fallen very ill. I was sick for over 30 days. I was also low income and the process of going to the doctor made things worse. I could hardly move or swallow. I was not eating and loads of green stuff. Chills and fever over and over. I had taken everything the local doctors had prescribed. Nothing was working. I was not getting better. My band teacher at the time was very concerned. I had missed over a month of school. So he made trip to visit family in Mexico. He smuggled back a big bottle of amoxicillin. Mother crushed them into honey and after only two doses and one night I was already improving. I was able sit up and eat and things progressed on until I was healthy again. If it were not for my band teacher I am sure I would have died. Thank you Mr. Garcia. It is a real shame that people abuse these powerful tools. That we allow cooperate interest trump that of humanity's.
