It is so, so ironic that erstwhile conservatives throw their principles away when a Democrat is at stake. I've been buying drugs (glucophage for Type 2 diabetes) via mail order from an overseas supplier for years. It costs less than half what it would cost here in the US. Every package I got had a US customs stamp on it. Now, apparently the prescription drug manufacturers are losing too much money so they don't want us to buy cheap drugs from overseas anymore.Informative post.
You are thereby very likely to have been breaking the law.
If you will look more closely at the FDA's site, you will find that it is for all intents and purposes illegal to import perscription drugs into this country.
Here is an excerpt from one of the letters they have sent importers:
Legal Violations
Your actions violate the FD & C Act because virtually every shipment of prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies to consumers in the U.S. violates the Act. Even if a prescription drug is approved in the U.S., if the drug is also originally manufactured in the U.S., it is a violation of the Act for anyone other than the U.S. manufacturer to import the drug into the United States (21 USC. 38l(d)(l)). We believe that virtually all drugs imported into the U.S. from Canada by or for individual U.S. consumers also violate U.S. law for other reasons. Generally, such drugs are unapproved (21 U.S.C. 355), labeled incorrectly (21 U.S.C. 353(b)(2)), and/or dispensed without a valid prescription (21 U.S.C. 353(b)(1)). Thus, their shipment into the U.S. from Canada violates the Act. See. e.g., 21 U.S.C. 331(a), (d), (t).

Even Krischer states that what Roberts is doing is illegal. He is just choosing not to prosecute her. Indeed, he appears to be supporting her campaign for Congress, which is centered on this issue.
