Does anyone know of an actual compounding pharmacy in La Paz, Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo?

Gracias!

Other than Chinese pharmacies I did not know there were ANY compounding pharmacies left anywhere. I'm sure the FDA (read pharmaceutical companies) would highly object.

Plenty of compounding pharmacies in the US, don't know about Baja

They are quite common in the US, and I know they exist in Mexico-as I've been told by 2 pharmacists in Todos Santos to look for one. Neither one knew of one, but both thought there might be one in La Paz. Maybe not!

to your point wee bray- compounding pharmacies don't make drugs per se, they make doses, combinations and applications of drugs to fulfill specific prescriptions. Pharmaceutical companies make the actual drugs-bit of a difference.

Petey - you might try contacting Dr Diaz at Fidepaz Hospital in La Paz for info. He speaks English.
