In Russia, if you have the bottle you can refill the prescription so long as it isn't a narcotic. I use allopurinol daily 50mg it is 2 bucks for a hundred tablets. I packed a dozen bottles out of Russia when I left. Gout is genetic being historically Irish potatoes and beer was a staple. Deadly nightshade family of plants are a killer as is good Beluga Caviar. But my friend does the asparagus thing too. Works!!
So a poke my friends use on me. "Hey the 1800's called and wants their disease back"

There are some dangers possible, when bringing prescription drugs back from Mexico, with or without a prescription. Danger from that side of the border, or this one.
DO not think there is zero risk, even with a prescription.
Dealing with the law in Mexico basically means you are guilty, and better be able to buy your freedom, and if you think red tape is bad in the USA........
Research the possible risks.
I had an Ex who thought that as long as she got a mexican Doctor to prescribe her opiates that there was no risk. I said I would drop her off a the border in tijuana and she could cross onn foot, and pick her up on the other side, if she made it but I was not taking it in my Van.
I got lucky and no pharmacy down there would fill the prescription, but it was the end of that relationship.

Same issues with the Canadain border. But not being a narcotic the issue is usually not pressed so long as you can prove it isn't a narcotic. Some can be pricks some can be ok.
Narcotics and borders are a huge NO NO!
I even got in crap bringing T1's across Can/USA border once. It is over the counter medication in Canada an a script in the USA. They seized them and let me go. But then I had a badge and zero records... Not fair but such is life

My wife has occasional gout bouts. She eats dark red cherries for relief. They are proven to reduce uric acid.

Google The Purple Pharmacy They are in Canada and Mexico. Extremely reputable.
As long as it is not narcotic there is no border problem.
