TULSA, Okla. -- The co-founder of an Oklahoma prescription drug service shut down for violating federal drug importation laws has a new company providing discounted medicines over the Internet.

Web-based Integrity Meds has been connecting prescription drug buyers with a mail-order pharmacy in Texas at prices the businesses claim are at cost plus two small fees.

"On name brands, people can save some money, but on generics they're going to rub their eyes and check it again," David Peoples, Integrity Meds founder and co-founder of Rx Depot, said on Wednesday. "It's going to be a shock."

The Tulsa-based company connects customers to Carepharm, a mail order pharmacy in New Boston, Texas. If the customer mentions Integrity Meds, they get medications at cost, officials with both companies said.

BJ Baker of Tulsa says Integrity Meds saves him between $130 and $140 a month on the five prescriptions he and his wife fill regularly. Three generic medications that once cost $105.57 per month now cost him $16.61, Baker says.
