I've been ordering my most expensive prescriptions from Canada, I pay cash, at a very considerable savings. The cost difference is great enough to affect my overall standard of living, the choice between just getting by or having a basic life.
I was expecting trouble with the passage of Obamacare, he promised big pharma that imports would be ended, but I didn't expect it so soon. If customs refuses an order I'll still be stuck paying for it.
I don't know how the medicare copay will compare to what I've been paying, I guess I'm about to find out.
The prescription involved here is made by CIPLA, in India, and is used world wide with safety and good results.
This is the label that big brother put on my order that came yesterday.
I guess you won’t be getting anymore of that from Canada. Road trip to Mexico in your near future?
Doing what they always do, which is the opposite of what they say?
I resent the dishonesty as much as anything, many of the approved drugs come from the same production lines. The difference is the label and the price.
The government is nothing but a gigantic protection racket.
Eh, find a Canadian Freeper who can quitely ship them to you without the Pharmacy label attached to the package.
This is the height of absurdity, so Pharam supposedly makes two different makes of pharmaceuticals?
One for the US, a different, less quality controlled version for the rest of the world?
B$, the assembly line is the same, this is merely one more protection racket that fills politicos pockets while punishing those who cannot afford their meds in the US.
the FDA, huh?....that bastion of “competence”.....just another BUREAUCRACY! It’ll be interesting to see what happens in a few years to the bio-ID hormones I REQUIRE to live.....I wish yop luck!
“Registered Global Mail”
Indeed.
Hmmm....I buy an OTC item from a Canadian Pharmacy because it’s no longer carried in the US. I wonder if I will receive a similar warning? Just reordered - will know in a week or two.
Your doctor prescribed it, but it’s not FDA approved? ...just trying to figure out the specific reasons for the warning.
Ahm, this is the regime that's going to jail people for not buying insurance = afford it or not.
You think they'd hesitate to put him in jail for 'smuggling banned drugs across the border' - and the sendee could be brought up on the same charges on the other side - including falsifying customs forms. (There are groups that get together and hire a bus, go to CAnada themselves on a 'drug run.' CAnada has allowed it. It may still be an avenue. But keep in mind that each person must only purchase/bring back the drugs that are for themselves.
I have no doubt that, as well, if there is not already the provision in those thousands of pages none of them have read, there WILL be a ban on herbal/supplements. They have been trying to grab the billions of dollars from these for decades.They want to put them under prescriptions - forcing you to pay for an office visit and prescription money to pharma.
They're already doing that in Europe.
Myself, I've been familiarizing myself with herbal remedies from different plants and how to grow, forage and harvest them for myself.
This regime is tucked into bed tight with pharma -
We live in perilous times. We fight for our rights NOW or it will be too late.
The reason for the warning is that Obama gave the drug companies protection from competition in exchange for their support of Obamacare. I expect prices to go up for Americans!
500% Goodness. Those Evil Drug Companies.
A) there is no law in Canada that prohibits drug exports to the US.
B) unless the meds are narcotic, the shipment would be seized, which will happen anyway soon enough.
I “know” this because some in my family need medications and Canada is “plan B”.
Would not bother with a Mexican Pharmacy by mail, NZ would be a better choice.
And you are correct, Herbal Supplements will come under the boot sooner or later, there are variations of Vitamin B that are now consider “medicine” because they have been proven to actually have medicinal properties.
Why are drugs cheaper in socialist Canada than in capitalist USA?
Thank you. I was going to try to help you out with a good source, but it appears so far that the pressure is on from the pharmaceutical racket. Yes, Obama and co. obviously intended to soften up the Government’s position against the lives of asthmatics, but their favored constituents are the same ones who controlled the Bush Administration and several before it.
...will keep checking around here, and let you know if I find any more info. The free traitors want to put Americans out of work while offering lots of cheap entertainment junk, but they don’t want Americans to have affordable lumber, prescription drugs, or much of anything that they really need. ...too much money for them from necessities in locked up in monopolies.
We pay all the R&D costs, the rest of the world just pays for the drug. I realize that costs must be met but there is a limit to reasonable markups, and competition is the best way to do it. There will now be no incentive to control prices and I think that they will increase.
This is basically the same label that has been in use for years. I have not received one myself, but others have. Often if a shipment is intercepted and not forwarded a pharmacy will use a different shipping method the second time and it will get through. I would not hesitate to make additional orders; maybe for a small amount the next time in case you do not receive it. I have ordered from Canada, Mexico and Europe in the past. Now many drugs are on the $4 list at Walmart which means I don’t have to order so many from other countries.
It sure didn’t take long to get the stickers printed!
