Meds, Meds,Meds where to get them

Just got back from a medical mission trip. Pharmacies were on the corners like convenience stores here in the states. No narcotics, however antibiots, NSAIDS, steroids... These were oral as well as IV\IM. And yes they were safe and reliable Rx. To the point that when we ran out of meds we got them there. Next time we go to that country we are not shipping 20 suite cases @ $40.00 ea. pluse the cost of the meds. U.S. Customs did not ask about them.
Also you all should try to hook up with hospice RNs. When the patients die the drugs we all pay for ( ie: medicade/medicare) get thrown away.
Just more info.
Good luck be safe, and may God bless you

I'm honestly suprised customs didn't have a meltdown over luggage filled with meds.

Seemed as if they were worried with food, jewelry, tobacco, and liquor.
