Canadian On line Pharmacy for meds

Anyone out ever there tried ordering cheaper meds through a Canadian online pharmacy ? I found a Canadian website that lists the pharmacies that are legitimate and several ship to the U.S... BIG savings. I have read that U.S. Customs almost always lets 90 day supplies through if the Canadian pharmacy has complied with all the appropriate laws. Seems like it is worth a try ? Any experienced comments appreciated.
  • Canadian drugs are not shipped from Canada even though they show and you contact a Canadian address. These drugs are from India, southeast Asia or Mexico. There is NO guarantee that these drugs are no counterfeit. Also, they may be of lesser quality that those purchased in the USA.

    I suggest contacting the FDA.
  • I got meds for my mother from CanadaDrugs.com. No problem at all. I think we had 90 day supplies for 3 meds, for about 1/3 the price of buying them in the US. Drug prices are low in Canada because they are government-negotiated. Canada has an excellent medical system and I have no concerns about the quality of medications from there.
  • Other than it being a Federal Crime to import drugs from Canada it isn't a problem. I do know someone who is doing it. They need to be very careful about the shipment size and weight to avoid having the shipment seized by customs. For me, I wouldn't take the chance. I don't want to be more specific about how I know the people doing this to avoid them having legal problems.
