Medication translation


I found this site for obtaining chemical names for various medications. Medications in Mexico of course do not have the same names as in the USofA.

http://www.rxlist.com/drugs/alpha_a.htm

I would be interested if others have found other ways to identify the names of Mexican medications that are the same formula as those found in the USofA.

Thanks,

Iflyfish

Good and important site---thanks. From our experience, it can be a little difficult making sure what we are getting is the proper medication even when they look in their great big drug list books.

Thanks and would be interested in what others have found.

Here is another site. List medication name in English and it lists alternative names.

I am trying to go from USofA names to Mexican. A bit of a challenge

Thanks for links.

Iv'e never had any problems just show the guy in the lab coat your scrip and ask them to show you the label of what they're trying to sell you it's usually pretty close.
