Canadian Pharmacies

Blame it on the Internet! Canadian pharmacies are a force to be reckoned with: senior citizens love them, drug companies hate them, the US government doesn’t know what to do about them, and thousands of uninsured folks can’t live with out them. The US/Canada price differences for prescription drugs are substantial. Now I never thought I’d buy anything from a Canadian pharmacy. But I found myself ordering from a Canadian pharmacy this week …
Forget the high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I didn’t order a prescription. I’m lucky, knock wood, as my family’s insurance coverage is fairly adequate.
My Canadian pharmacy order was far less controversial. I didn’t even order a verboten over-the-counter medication.
Nope. I merely added 8 oz. of Mexoryl sunscreen to my shopping cart. That’s right … the illegal sunscreen.
Call me a rebel. A loner. A pasty white geek with a deep-seated fear of skin cancer. If my government wants to call me a criminal for ordering a tube of sunscreen from a Canadian pharmacy, well … bring on those windmills, baby.

I would beware of Canadian pharmacies on the Web. There are a few legitimate ones, but they’re hard to verify. I ordered generic Prozac from
Canadianmedicationsonline.com [Canadian Pharmacy] and the capsules came from India! I belatedly returned to the Web site and there was a vague reference about “foreign sources,” but nothing explicit about the drugs coming from South Asia. :Canada:in the name of a Web site doesn’t mean the drugs originate there. Caveat Emptor,
