> I have never used a Canadian pharmacy from the US to get scripts filled, but there are plenty of horror stories about quality - maybe fabricated?? Perhaps the Canadian Pharmacists Association (if there is such a thing) would point you to some accredited companies?
> Is there a pharmacist in the house? I thought >we had one here at babble.Most of the 'horror' stories are made up by American drug companies who don't want to lose their market share. Seriously, there are millions of U.S. citizens from individuals, to groups, to even towns and cities who get their meds from Canada. And, I assure you, as a Canadian, Canada has some of the strictest codes and rules around medication in the world..much more regulation than the U.S.
Just don't reply to one of those 'chain' or spam emails which pretend to be Canadian. You can get FDA approved medication WITH a prescription at some very large online pharmacies. A few of the absolute best are: www.canadianpharmacy.com , and www.canadadrugs.com. Also, you won't be able to order scheduled (or whatever they are called) drugs from these places. Again, these are FDA approved drugs, WITH a prescription, and it is all perfectly legit. They will need your doctor's info to verify and contact.
Good luck...and you should save a bundle with many of your scripts. :-)
