Hello maluca,
Thank you again for your patience. I certainly never expected
locating Genotropin would be as difficult as it was! I was able to
locate several US online pharmacies for you, along with locations to
visit in Mexico, and one *possible* source for online Mexican
medications.

you are currently paying, and is the cheapest by far!
Genotropin $142.30 for 14 0.2mg doses, which IS cheaper than $195.00
for 14 0.2 mg doses. Buying larger quantities should save you even
more.:

Purchasing Medicines in Mexico:
===============================
?You need to be concerned about the quality of the medicine you
purchase. A Mexican Pharmacy can offer good quality or poor quality
based upon many factors. What you are looking for is a pharmacy that
their main concern is quality, and second is price. If you use a good
Mexican Pharmacy most of their generic drugs are manufactured by the
same companies that manufacture the name brand. Yes these might cost
10% more, but that still leaves you with savings up to 75% off retail
and the medications will do what you need and not what you don't.?
?Mexico and Canada are the two closest countries to buy your
medications from and receive them quickly. Mexico is usually the best
bet when it comes to the amount of money you will have to spend to get
your medications delivered to your front door from an Mexican
Pharmacy.
Why Go With a Mexican Pharmacy? To begin with Canada has government
intervention that causes price control. The minimum amount that a
company (online pharmacy or conventional drug store) can sell
medications for is actually controlled. Obviously this usually amounts
to higher costs than what Mexican Pharmacies can sell the same
medications for.?
http://seniorhealth.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=seniorhealth&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.safemeds.com%2F
?The policy at all U.S. Ports Of Entry used to be set by the chief of
each port, known as the Port Director. In turn, the Port Director left
the issue up to each individual Customs inspector. With over one
hundred inspectors at a typical large border crossing or airport Port
Of Entry, it was impossible to predict how many meds any one inspector
might allow or prohibit.
Recently, however, U.S. Customs began to limit the quantity of
controlled medicines allowed into the country to fifty doses. We don't
know any further details about this rule but we urge you to check with
U.S. Customs before attempting to import more than fifty doses.
We mentioned this earlier, but it is so important that we?ll repeat
ourselves: You must have a valid U.S. or Canadian prescription to
bring any controlled medications back into the U.S., even if you
bought them with a valid Mexican prescription.
A U.S. Customs inspector will ask you for a valid U.S. or Canadian
prescription when you declare more than fifty doses of a controlled
medicine. This prescription will be in addition to the Mexican
prescription you used to purchase the meds in Mexico, which you
absolutely must have.
Uncontrolled medicines are allowed entry even in large quantities, but
only if the Customs inspector agrees that there?s a legitimate need
for you to have one or two thousand ibuprofen tablets, a wheelbarrow
full of Tums, etc. , (in fact, they usually don't quibble).?

Tips on driving to Mexico
==========================
?Tijuana is an exciting town to visit, but we do not recommend
driving your vehicle in Tijuana if you are not planning to drive
beyond Tijuana. If the intent of your trip is to stay exclusively in
Tijuana, we highly recommend that you park your car in one of the many
parking lots on the US side of the border, then take the 5 minute bus
ride across the border into Tijuana. Tijuana can be a confusing and
congested place for visitors to drive in, and foreign vehicles parked
on the streets can be targets for being broken into.?

Caveat Emptor
==============
?Industry officials say there is a long-standing problem with drugs
of dubious effectiveness being sold at border pharmacies. Tom Kubik,
executive director of the Pharmaceutical Security Institute, said many
border pharmacies are running a "bait-and-switch" scam on U.S.
customers.
"If a U.S. patient comes in to fill a prescription, it is not uncommon
for them to be shifted to 'similares,"' drugs that don't meet the
standards of generic equivalents, Kubik said.
U.S. companies and officials often have to call the Mexican
government's attention to problems at border pharmacies, Kubik said,
noting "you've got to go to them with detailed evidence before you get
some response."
Pharmacists in Algodones denied selling counterfeit medicine in their stores.
"We earn a slightly higher profit margin on the generics, but it's
always up to the customer to decide. We'll sell him what he wants,"
said Osuna.?

Mexican Pharmacies Online

Not the most reliable way to buy medication!
You may try to fill out the request for information form:
Click on the link below, then click on ?Pedidos?, next click on the
button with the flashing red arrow. The first column of for your
information:
Line One = Name
Line 2 = e-mail address
I would leave out your address, etc.
The next to last line is for your doctor?s name, and the last line is
her/his specialty
The next column is where you enter the name of the medication.
The second column of these three, is the quantity you wish to buy, and
the last column is for the description. I?d enter ?Genotropin? in the
first column, and in the net, the number of syringes you wish to buy.
In the last column, I?d enter 0.2 mg. This will make it rather clear
you are after the MiniQuick product.
The blue ?Enviar? button is the ?Submit/Send? button.

A bit about Canadian Pharmacies:
================================
?The cross-border trade in prescription drugs is booming and
Canadian pharmacies are reaping the benefits. Low Canadian drug
prices, a low Canadian dollar and close proximity add up to big
savings for American consumers hungry for affordable medication.
The trade is huge and is estimated to have been worth more than $1
billion in 2002 ? double what it was one year earlier. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Americans are on the receiving
end of more than two million packages of prescription drugs per year.
And for good reason. Canadian pharmacies dispense drugs identical to
those south of the border ? in many cases for a fraction of the
price.?

Jintropin, a Chinese version of Genotropin:

Well, Maluca, there you go. I found that Genotropin is not easily
acquired through the mail, especially from Canada. It?s seemingly
difficult from Mexico too. In my answer, I have posted numerous
Mexican pharmacies in Baja California, that you can check when you go.
Consider too, what the commenter, eliteskillsdotcom, has to say about
quality in the post below. It is certainly possible to obtain good
quality medicines n Mexico, if you are cautious and observant. Many US
and European pharmaceutical companies are in Mexico. For medicinal
purposes, you DO want impeccable quality!
If I were in your shoes, and over 50, my first move would be to look
into Pfizer?s Bridge program to see if you can get financial help with
your medications. I?m hoping this can work for you!
My second move would be to order your meds from a US website,
particularly the first site posted. Make a small purchase for your
first order so you can verify the quality of medication you are
getting, and the kind of service you receive. When making a larger
purchase, request good expiration dates, so you can avoid loss of
unused medicine due to a short shelf life!
My third move would be to visit Mexico, since you are not far. Find a
clean pharmacy, one that is not as close to the border as others, a
bit off the beaten path. If you speak Spanish, ask the locals where
THEY buy their medicine. You are more likely to get scammed at a
pharmacy closer to the border, or in a location that has a lot of
tourists. You could ask other US Americans you meet in Mexico if they
have traded with a known reliable pharmacy. Again, I?d look for good
expiration dates, a sealed package, and one with a well known
manufacturer?s name. Consider making a small purchase first. This way
if you find the product does not meet your standards, you have lost as
little as possible.
Take one of your used packages to compare with the Mexican packaging.
Take along your prescription, and your labs. A letter from your doctor
on her/his letterhead might not hurt either. Take a friend too? don?t
go alone. Park in the US and take a bus across the border. Leave some
cool packs in a cooler, in your car, into which you can place your
purchase.
It?s good to have a few resources available, in case you are ever in a bind!
Good Luck! If any part of my answer is unclear, please request an
Answer Clarification, before rating. This will allow me to assist you
further, if possible.
Sincerely, Crabcakes
