Strange. American patients have been using the Canadian pharmacies for years and there have been no shortages.

I know a couple of physicians that regularly write prescriptions for patients with a list of online Canadian and British pharmacies to fill them.

There have been no shortages in the past and somehow this is a problem now.

Funny. American distributors (pharmacy benefit managers PBMs) have been trying to shut down this practice and are the main cause for high prices.

Want to Bring Down Drug Prices? Go After the Middleman

A couple of prescriptions I order are post patent protection, manufactured by the same company as before and forbidden to market their product in the US. I'm all for capitalism to bring the prices down. What we have in the US now is not capitalism. It is a toxic mix of government and cronyism.

It’s really the patent system that is the problem.
