Question About Canadian Prescriptions

[tibbir]

It's been my understanding that upon passage of the Medicare Part D law we will no longer be able to order prescriptions from Canada. Yet when I checked tonight there are still tons of sites that offer Canadian prescriptions, still substantially below the cost to buy the same in the U.S.

Can anyone tell me what the status of ordering medicine online from Canadian pharmacies is? How will they be able to stop someone from doing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. I know I've read quite a few stories about Drugs being confiscated!

As far as I know, you're right that Americans aren't permitted to LEGALLY buy drugs from
Canada, but many continue to do so. I read many articles about some shipments being confiscated by customs. In the same articles, the buyer almost always says they've been buying them via the net for several years, and he knew there was a risk, but this was the first time. Most also say they're going to continue to buy them there.

Apparently the savings is worth the risk!
