Any Americans who have filled prescriptions in Canada...?

Question

I live in the US and have taken a name brand drug for a year and half that costs over $150 each month! I found the same drug on a Canadian pharmacy website called ADVCare.com for much less money.

I have been taking the Canadian pill for one week and feel like something's not quite right. I am having symptoms that I normally don't with a careful regimen and seem to have more side effects, like a pounding headache and sleeplessness.

Can anyone tell me their experience with American drugs vs. Canadian drugs? Any differences that you know of? Any professional pharmacists out there who may know? Your serious answers are greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Be careful, there are many sites that will just take your money and either send you nothing or fake meds.

Here is how I decide if an on-line site is valid, it must have

1/ Guarantee on product quality (Country FDA approval)
2/ Guarantee on product delivery
3/ full selection of products
4/ Honest answers (FAQ's, product descriptions)
5/ details on each product's side effects (shows that they are not trying to sell you a product that might not be right for you)
6/ a real street address
7/ 800 number and on-line chat for questions
8/ a site that does not try and disguise itself as an information site when it is really just a sales site

and then I also want realistically low prices

LOW-COST-RX.COM is the site that I have used and trust

Answer 2

i'm a pharmacy tech, this occasion hasn't arise for me. i know that i will fill Rx's written via docs from yet another province. i don't know if a prescription could be crammed if written via an out of united states of america dr. finding on what the med is, the pharmacist would fill it. no longer all meds interior the U. S. are available in Canada. In Canada, regular substitutions are oftentimes made for call-kind drugs. in case you prefer call kind, and are keen to pay the further fee, enable them to know once you drop off the RX. although, this occasion could be plenty much less confusing in case you deliver the RX to a doctor in canada and get the Dr right here to re-write the Rx.

Most of those "Canadian" online pharmacies are not in Canada. It is too risky to order prescription medications online. The vast majority of them are counterfeit. The FDA does not back and support any self imported medications.
