Does anyone here get their prescriptions from Canadian pharmacies?

If you do, which one(s) do you use? What's been your experience?

Thanks in advance!

1. Haven't recently, but back b4 the ACA yes

Can’t remember which pharmacies I used but it was a really big savings. Get the script from your doc, fax it and they mail it.
No complaints and a big savings

6. Thanks for letting me know that it does seem to be a viable option

If you do ever remember which pharmacies you used (although I realize it's been a decade since the ACA went into effect!), I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. Thanks!

2. Recently used Mark's Marine Pharmacy -Good experience on their end -

Since Dejoy screwed up the mail, it did not arrive on time. Nothing to do with the pharmacy. Stupid politics in the USA. I was worried my meds would go bad, since it had to be refrigerated. They carefully packaged it and meds were still good. My only hesitation right now from ordering is if it gets delay in the summer heat, the medication may go bad. It was much cooler when I ordered.

5. You know, I hadn't even considered Dejoy's screwing up the USPS as a factor

Fortunately, the drug(s) I'm thinking of getting don't need to be refrigerated (although, like most drugs, they should be kept at room temperature), and the downside is that I live in Arizona, where climate change is definitely making its presence felt.

Maybe I'll wait until the fall to try this. Thanks for the heads-up!

And thanks for letting me know about Mark's Marine Pharmacy; that wasn't even one of the ones I've been looking at.

7. Room temp in AZ equals oven temp in Canada.

So maybe your meds will be fine!

Of course, I live in Canada. Shoppers Drug Mart for us.

4. Yeah, living in Canada would definitely make a difference!

I'll look into Shoppers Drug Mart anyway. Thanks!

13. I find drugs here seem pretty expensive

I can't imagine what it must be like for you guys to want to go cross-border shopping.

8. wackadoo wabbit....

I was so glad to see your post.

I also am looking to by some med options in Canada. I'm here in L.A.

I have a friend in Dallas who gets some in Canada but I don't have any details. I'm going to chat with her on Sunday. If she has any info. I'll definitely post it.

I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing your post.

9. Years back

I was checking into getting some diabetes meds from Canada. Discovered certain drugs go generic there WAY earlier than the US because the Pharm Companies pay off the US to keep the generic version from us. Gal told me Lipitor up there had gone generic while, at the time, it was still only Lipitor or nothing in the US. Fer chrissakes.

11. Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest

Our medical system in the U.S. is beyond f'ed up. We need Medicare for All, and we need to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Maybe if we get another couple of Demoratic senators in 2022 (and maybe if these senators are true Democrats and not DINOs) . . .

12. Used to get seizure meds for one of our dogs

BIG savings at canadadrugs.com at the time, but this was 6 or so years ago at least.

14. Thanks for the recommendation!

There are so many different Canadian drug places out there — and some places in India masquerading as Canadian — that I really appreciate hearing about places that people have had good experiences with. Thanks again!

15. Be Careful!

There's a lot of fraud. Indian and U.S. companies pretending to be Canadian, and completely fake companies selling fake pharmaceuticals.

Here's a list of licensed and certified Canadian pharmacies from the 'Canadian International Pharmacy Association':

This looks to be for Canadians, so you would likely need to sift through them and determine which ship to the U.S. Also, take note that the sizable list apparently rotates to provide randomness, so it would probably make sense to copy & paste into a notebook file and then work from there, otherwise you'll go crazy trying to figure out where you left off.

16. Yes, exactly!

I specifically searched for "Canadian pharmacy," but when I checked out many of the search results, they were these sketchy Indian companies and even sketchier other companies that seemed to be selling drugs that I sensed weren't what they were supposed to be. That's ultimately why I created this post!

Thank you so much for that link! I'll use it to help find a legit Canadian pharmacy.
