You can buy it OTC in Playa, as well, but my husband is a firm believer in the advantages of starting it before we go. One brand name is Cipro, and it's likely the same kind of drug that Jimontheriver points you to.

most pharmas will not sell antibiotics OTC any longer
it is now illegal to do so in mexico
