In reply to Does Canada get all the meds America does?, posted by SoS on December 18, 2002, at 23:56:46
Canada has most of the same meds. There's a few that are available here but not in the States & vice versa. New meds often get to Canada a little while after the US. Our drug laws & testing methods are somehwat different. Checking with a knowledgable pharmacist about meds you're taking now & if they're available in Canada too is the best way to check.
One point is that meds may be the same but the names are different - e.g. Provigil is called Alertec in Canada, Klonopin is called Rivitrol, etc.
