Re: RE JUST WONDERING - Canadian Meds

[Guest guest]

Shirley -

I have investigated getting meds from Canada (and Mexico as well though they have the reputation of sending "fake" pills that do not contain the medication and have not followed trough in any detail). What I found out (for the ones I take) was that the name brand meds were somewhat cheaper - but that the US generic equivalents, when available, were by far the cheapest when purchased in the US. The other thing is the Canadian pharmacies all charge a shipping/handling charge (most I checked were around $20) and some charge to have a Canadian doctor "re-write" your own doctor's prescription so you need to factor that in as well. The two sites that I still have bookmarked that I searched were http://www.canadatrustrx.com/Canadian-prescription-online-drug-store.htm and http://www.affordablerx.com/pricelist.phtml
