What about drugs from Canada?

Post by roster » Tue Mar 18, 2008 6:46 pm

OK, I will admit to taking 1 mg Propecia (a vanity drug) daily and it is very expensive in U.S. and is not covered by insurance. I see you can buy generic finasteride from Canada.

Will I get a good product? Who are the reliable suppliers in Canada shipping to the U.S.? Will U.S. authorities give me problems?

This is on topic because cpap headgear can wear your head bald. .

Thinking you'll be okay with generics from Canada--just avoid Mexico. Check this company--sounds like ordering from them is pretty straight forward--

I've ordered drugs from local companies that come from the UK and some even from India. Some meet FDA standards and all are supposed to meet the same standards or their countrys standards which should be equal. Ask the company you order from. Sometimes US companies still exclusive rights and you have to go outside to get generics.

Canadian standards are stricter than the US ones, and you'll have no trouble ordering from them at all (they're also fussy about your needing proper prescriptions).

Be very cautious ordering pills online, especially from India. A new report suggests that 18% of the drugs entering legit pharmacies are counterfeit. They use lead, and paint, and other crap to color them.

Yes, but you may have an overwhelming urge to watch Hockey in a Roots jacket while drinking Tim Horton's coffee.

It's a little known side effect...

Hey Barry, just mentioning it has given me the urge! Heck, too far south to do it tonight!
