Canadian drug stores


Many people are using the internet to obtain their drugs from Canada.  Cost of drugs are regulated in Canada and are usually much cheaper.  Please be aware that the medicaion should be the same version as is available in the USA.  For example do not buy a generic version unless it is also available in the US or customs may confiscate the drug.

The United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) (21 U.S.C. section 331) prohibits the interstate shipment (which includes importation) of unapproved new drugs.  Thus, the importation of drugs that lack FDA approval, whether for personal use or otherwise, violates the Act.  Unapproved new drugs are any drugs, including foreign-made versions of U.S. approved drugs, that have not been manufactured in accordance with and pursuant to an FDA approval.  Under the Act, FDA may refuse admission to any drug that "appears" to be unapproved, placing the burden on the importer to prove that the drug sought to be imported is in fact approved by FDA.
