Antibiotics require a doctor's prescription in Mexico. Taking them for the wrong illness, or stopping early, makes future infections harder to treat.
How the price has changed
Across the 29 pharmacy chains we can compare with a year ago, the price held roughly steady.
Each chain is compared against itself over the same period of the year, between February and May, so a change in which stores were visited is not mistaken for a change in price.
