Anyone Else order Prescription Drugs from Canada-Wow what a huge price difference

[mrbowler]

I realize that some folks have great insurance so they are able to get prescriptions for a $5 or $10 copay, but for other(s) it's a different story. Everyone is different...for myself antibiodics are cheap with my insurance $3-4 bucks for 10 pills or .30-.40 cents per pill. But sometimes I have allergy problems, and I have to use a nasal spray. Below is a difference between U.S. and Canada


U.S.
$65 Nasaqort AQ for 30 doses-and that's a negotiated price because of insurance.


Canada
$25 plus $10 shipping for 120 doses(yep 4 times as much!)
-first order no charge for shipping-

So 120 doses equals
-----------------------
U.S. $260
Canada $35

Sure looks like a easy choice for the consumer. And BTW-both boxes come from same pharmaceutical company Aventis. In case anyone was wondering I ordered thru

PeopleRX.com

You place your order online-they ask questions about medical background,allergic reations etc., what other medicines you are taking. Then after you place order-you fax your presciption to there 1-800 number and you receive in 2 weeks. Fantastic !!

I've been purchasing from Canada for over 2 years now. I use one pharmacy. However, sometimes Fry's Pharmacy will supply an even cheaper price for senior/selfpay and I'll buy locally.

I bought Migraine medicine (Imitrex) from New Zealand. Don't get headaches anymore so I don't order there anymore. I also had a Mexico connection (Dr. lived on the border AZ/Mexico) and had a special license to bring meds over the border from his pharmacy in Mexico. That connection got a bit unreliable so I quit using it.

Sometimes I can save up to 80% from Canada.
The place I use needs a current prescription from your doctor. My doctor is very much in favor of me getting my meds wherever I can the cheapest and has even recommended the place to his patients.

My mom also orders her meds from Canada, its so much cheaper for her. She found out a place to order them at her church. It saves her a bundle each year.

My prescription plan took away my birth control pills so out of pocket they are $40 now. I went to Planetdrugsdirect.com and now I get a 3 months supply for $45.

I just wanted to add that I used Froogle to check prices-I'm sure they don't have all stores in database for comparision, but I'd bet they have quite a few.

Also Seniors(all) will soon be able to check on government web site to do comparision's
