Thread Name: BS: Drug purchases in Canada by U.S. folk
Subject: RE: BS: Drug purchases in Canada by U.S. folk
I'm not sure how it works but my mom gets her thyroid medication from Canada via an e-mail pharmacy. She sends in the prescription, they fill it in Canada and then they send it to her in Arizona. Now she has all her cronies doing it too. They save alot of money and being on a fixed income, it really helps them.
I think there are some problems with this (even from the Canadian side) but it seems to be more about confirming the signature of the physician. If its not prescription, I don't see why the pharmacy can't just send it to you. There may be some 'duty' but I think you will still save money.
Why does Bush allow the pharmaceutical companies to gouge your citizens?
In the long run, I don't think this loop-hole will last because now Canada is afraid of running low on drugs for Canadians. Although with the recent 'flu vaccine' shortage, Canadians have been told that the vaccine given to Americans was never meant for Canadians in the first place - that what the Americans are getting is over and above our needs. What???
