People with a history of substance abuse or addiction should avoid visiting these pharmacies altogether. While it may not seem like a major temptation, addictive thoughts and triggers can lead to dangerous plans to buy and consume these drugs.
Thinking about buying prescription drugs from a Mexican pharmacy? You might want to think again. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Mark Leeds, an experienced osteopathic physician, recounts his visit to Mexican pharmacies where controlled substances are sold openly without prescriptions. While it might seem like a quick fix for those struggling with addiction, Dr. Leeds warns that it's a dangerous path to tread.
He explains the risks of purchasing mild opioids like Tylenol with codeine and tramadol, as well as benzodiazepines such as Valium and Klonopin, especially for those in recovery. These substances can easily lead to relapse and other severe health issues if not used under medical supervision. Dr. Leeds also clarifies that buprenorphine, known on the streets as Subutex or Suboxone, isn't available over-the-counter in these pharmacies.
Highlighting the necessity of medical oversight and psychotherapy in any medication-assisted treatment program, he underscores that what may seem like a harmless act can have dire consequences. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, this episode serves as a crucial reminder to steer clear of these risky practices.
