my parents are in mexico and can get me the seloken zok very cheap from the pharmacy there! they are 97mg and i take 25mg so i would just quarter them up. is it safe buying medicine from mexico?

Hi grizz,

I haven't heard or read of any complaints and many people do purchase from other countries. You're closer to Canada, why Mexico?

griz,

Yes, they are the same drug....but what a silly sounding name seloken zok is.

You should be fine taking 1/4 of the Mexican preparation.

How cheap is "very cheap" for, say, 30 of the 97 mg. tabs "down Mexico way?" Your parents don't even need a prescription do they?

From what I can glean, the Seloken Zok comes in 50 mg. too...maybe easier to split.
