Has anyone ever received medication from a mail order from Canada? If not is it legal to obtain medication from Canada through mail order?

I've done this a few times, and I had an elderly neighbor who did it exclusively. It was a great $$$ saver for both of us. It was a legitimate pharmacy and required a signed doctor's prescription. Neither of us were asking for controlled substances, however; that may be a different story. These days, the co-pay to see my PCP is so high that my greatest expense is just in seeing him (I avoid it whenever possible...he's not that useful anyway, just pointing and clicking throughout the visit, or he makes me see his PA or NP or receptionist or maintenance engineer or anybody else because his time is at a premium). Medications are a drop in the bucket in comparison.

I have. It was pretty much like - doing a mail

order in the US. Zyrtec went generic there way before it did in the US, so I used to order it from Canada. Never had any problems with it. It was way cheaper that what it was in the US.

Funny this question should come up now. The following will take you to a story that was on the LA news just last night.

You sure you want to buy your meds online? We know all too well how offshoring goes, so can we really be sure where these drugs are coming from?

Make sure you read the info at the very bottom of the article about checking for a legitimate website.

That being said, it is illegal to import any drug requiring a script in the US without having a script for it. I have brought meds back from Mexico for years by just not declaring them on my customs forms at the airport, frankly the airport customs officials don't really seem to check for drugs, but the DEA dogs do! :)

I have a friend who works for a Holistic Doc in Canada and she said she gets around US customs script requirement by putting on the form that it is a nutritional supplement. She has been telling me about a Glucosamine they have in Canada that is a different molecular make-up that what we get in the states and it is supposed to be fantastic. They first made it for animals (race horses in particular) and some guy that was facing back surgery decided if it worked for his horses he would try it. It worked and they now make it in a human formula but it is not approved by the FDA here. Since I may be facing back surgery the whole customs/glucosamine subject came up, which prompted the conversation with her about getting around U.S.customs.

The story on the news somewhat made me change my mind when I found out they were making fake Viagra in Canada with blue lead paint in it.

or deceased Democratic voters who made a pledge that if Trump wins, you would be heading north of the border to escape the horrendous possibility of fewer taxes, less government intervention, and fewer handouts, this guide’s for you. A few tips before you head north. First, if you do keep your promise, bundle up; 22 below zero isn’t uncommon in some cities, but the frostbite scars and missing appendages will make you a living testament to your integrity and show all those people in the l ...

From The Atlantic: When Democrats lose elections, a small but audible ratio of them invariably announce their intention to move to Canada, that liberal paradise where healthcare magically costs nothing, everybody is nice to each other, and maple syrup flows freely (although the price of cheese may lead to sticker shock). But when Republicans lose, you almost never hear them grumbling in the same way. Are conservatives simply less prone to melodrama? Or would they just consider it ...

This is one thing we have to look forward to. After it is all said and done, there will be 50 jobs out of the pipeline Trump wants to go forward with. The taxpayers who live where the oil spills happen will pay to have it cleaned up, not to mention how harmful it is to the animals and environment. Why would we want to go back to making fossil fuels are prime source of energy anyway? So we can make money! Lots of money! ...

Ontario - New figures released by the federal government show that illegal border crossings into Canada continue to rise, with 877 people picked up in March by the RCMP, an increase over the 658 people picked up in February and the 315 in January. The numbers do not include those people coming into Canada through legal entry points along the Canada=U.S. border, nor do they include those immigrants that haven't been caught, so the number of asylum seekers could be much higher, according t ...
