Well I can't get my car repaired online or see my doctor online or get other
services like an electrician, plumber, carpenter, etc. Bulky and heavy items
like refrigerators, certain tools, etc. are cheaper locally due to the
expense of shipping. The gun dealers got the government to outlaw buying
firearms interstate. Now that didn't reduce crime with firearms but the
government still has the law. I don't think pharmacies will have luck with
that one as I don't know of anyone being killed from a foreign prescription.
But I can sure as heck trade stocks cheaper, buy a watch cheaper, get books
cheaper (not even a bookstore except Christian where I live), DVD's and
more.  I do live in a very rural area and if Wally World does not have it I
usually have to take an hour's trip into the nearest larger town.

Talk about online.  My son, who was in the Marines, gets a lot of medication
mailed to him from the VA Administration in Jackson, MS every month. I am
sure the amount of Rxs mailed out by the Veterans Administration must exceed
all the medication that the Canadian Pharmacies send into the USA.  Every Rx
he gets is one that could have been filled at my local pharmacy except the
government does not want to pay the regular pharmacy prices.

I have personally used The Canadian Drugstore www.tcds.com 1-888-372-2252.
I had no problem with them:  I used to purchase Prilosec (Losec) and Celexia
from them without problems.  Now since the generics are available in the
United States I can get these drugs locally for a reasonable cost.

The Canadian Drugstore did dispensed both my medications in the factory pack
which had the manufacturer's name, lot #, expiration date, etc., and were in
dispensing packages like birth control pills. This made it easily to verify
that the medication was exactly what it was supposed to be, was not dropped
on the floor, and was made by the manufacturer that was supposed to have
made it.

==================
I am a Pharmacist, and I am a Sensior Citizen, and yes unfortunately
boith my wife and I use "drugs".. Legal of course...  Fortunately I
have a drug card in my wallet...  BUT I understand why most people
would like to buy online from Canadian Pharmacies...  

I honestly do not buy the statement that Canadain Drugs are not as
safe as those sold here in the States... nor that they are not as
pure....  in my opinion thats plain BULL....

However since Health Canada caps the price of the "price" of drugs
the only clear cut solution for EVERY US Citizen would be for the US
to also cap the cost of drugs...  

Doing this would however be a socialistic approach and would surely
not be in the spirit of a market driven economy... Health Canada PAYS
the bill for Rx Drugs...in this country you and I pay....and yes we
are paying thru the nose...

Just my thoughts....

Do you believe that every time I get and consume a pharmaceutical from
Canada, I quake in my boots until I have survived a week on the new
shipment.

If so, I have a bridge over New York's East River that I am willing to sell
cheap.

It is an outrage that people like President Little Bush is giving capitalism
a bad name.

Bill

remember...you will need a script for any CAnadian pharmacy

just did a quick search...Pravachol 40 mg at Canada meds.com are $119 per 30

at Costco...they are $127 per 30

and you have to pay shipping for Canada

not enuf of a saving to make a difference

ahhhh....Canada has moved Allegra to non prescription status

but I checked Costco.com

they aren't much more....but you will need a script

good luck
