medication from overseas pharmacy

(I have a self-employed health plan). What the health insurance company tells me is: At the time of my application for a lower rate (Jan 2010), they will look at all of my doc visits & pharmacy meds for the past 12 months. I have higher priced health insurance only because I have restless leg syndrome and take only ONE medication, generic Requip. I stockpiled my medication and it will not show that I have gotten a prescription refilled or been to the doctor about restless legs for 12 months, so they will place me in the cheapest health insurance rate.
After my cheaper rate goes into effect, I can go back to the doctor - I will be locked into the new cheaper plan for a few years until the health insurance company closes that plan out and I have to reapply to a new health insurance plan.
That will all work, except that I will run out of the stockpiled prescription three months early (I have nine months stockpiled); hence my need to go overseas for just one 90-day prescription to carry me over so it won't be reported to the health insurance company.
So to answer your question, it will be OK with the health insurance company after they have "locked" me into my newer, cheaper health insurance rate. Then I can go back to the doc and the pharmacy, and the health insurance company doesn't care.

It was overseas and I was 19
I was in the service overseas. Met him and we spent a lot of time together before hand. I was very homesick and thought he cared about me. Oh, then he went and not only told all our friends I gave him this disease but told them all I slept around with everyone. Talk about horrified.
Most of you saying you won't go overseas better check.....sm
I got generic Diflucan recently from my pharmacy and after reading the little box it showed it was made in China. I was floored. When we get the "bottles" of meds they do not list where they are from and I am going to start asking!
Overseas Prescriptions
Please be careful when doing this. I worked in a neurology clinic and we prescribed several different drugs, requip being one of them. We had a patient who went overseas to get her prescription and they said she was getting the same as her dr. had prescribed. Long story short, she had a severe allergic reaction to "the same" med we had her on. Research this please.
overseas prescriptions
I agree. I am hoping someone on this Board will know the name of a reputable overseas pharmacy, as I want to be careful to get safe medication.
On behalf of my nephew and other GIs overseas, THANK YOU
My nephew reports to me that the anonymous gifts to guys in his unit have been pouring in, lifting their spirits and reminding them of why they are so far from home at this Christmas season. Obviously, I don't know who all of the packages are from but to any of you who have remembered any of our servicemen and women overseas, thank you from the bottom of my heart. These kids (and they are mostly kids 18-25, in my nephew's unit at least) have seen awful things and mostly have to always be on the alert - how BEAUTIFUL that they have been remembered. 
Do you have the name of the pharmacy sm
the deal with in Canada?
or No-Doze from the pharmacy OTC....NM
People's Pharmacy has
lots of ideas for controlling blood sugar. Many are not even expensive.
Sorry he is going through this.
Yikes - who would ever use a pharmacy like that?

What I found out calling the pharmacy
1 time about a glue they were using in brain surgery and it was exactly the same thing we buy as superglue. I have used this superglue (oh, gonna flame here) to fix a tooth that came out after going to the dentist several times and theirs did not work and mine stayed in for as long as I had the tooth. I would use it but probably others will disagree, that is the way this board runs anyway. You might run past animal care person though.
Carmex (spelling?)......in pharmacy OTC..
Comm colleges also offer otometry assistant, pharmacy

According to her, she is on medication

The only medication I am on...
is Chantix, started 1 month ago, and these symptoms preceded that but the dizziness and balance issues may have gotten worse with the Chantix.
I just keep going to the doctor and they keep telling me anxiety. These symptoms basically fell into my lap 3 months or so ago.
Not familiar with medication, but is there some way SM
you can cut it in half or quarters and start out taking a tiny amount, then gradually start taking the entire pill? If you are able to do that, your body will get used to it and you will soon be able to consume entire amount.
Or ask doctor is there is something else to try. Good luck to you.
medication from other countries
Question: does anyone get medication from overseas WITHOUT a prescription? I only take one medication. In a few months, I will run out of Requip, a prescription I take for restless leg. Bottom line - I need 3-5 months more of it WITHOUT going to the doc to get a written prescription. If I go to the doc, my health insurance company(self-employed) won't change me from their high rates next year to lower rates. I will get lower rates by NOT claiming restless leg for 12 months in a row.
***What's the best company to get an overseas medication from WITHOUT a prescription?**** No sermons please, after I get the new lower payment rate, I can go back to the doctor and get written prescriptions again.
medication from other countries
You are right, and that is why I need to find out what is the best reputable pharmacy overseas to get just this one medication, generic Requip, from for ONLY a 3-month time period. After I can my health insurance rate, I will get the medication with a prescription here in the US. So, what's a reputable overseas pharmacy that any of you have dealt with?
natural OTC medication?
Could you tell me what natural OTC medication she is taking? This sounds so much like my 16-year-old daughter. TIA.
Accidnetally took hubs medication
this morning. I take a blood pressure pill and I just took a 40 mg tablet of atenolol he had- thinking it was my armour thyroid. Should I just watch my blood pressure to make it does not dip too low? I think I will be okay but anyone else done this?
We should use them as test subjects for medication and
I guarantee you start doing some tough punishment and there would be less of that crap going on.
You sound a bit paranoid. Medication

Rules about bringing medication to
school are there for a reason. She knew she was not supposed to do it as all of that is explained EVERY school year. In our schools, medications (even aspirin) is kept in the office with a note from a doctor (whether rx or not) and they dispense it.
What do you think of that lash growing medication?
I've seen the commercial but cannot remember the name of the med, but it's for growing lashes. It may cause (possibly) reversible eyelid darkening and permanent discoloration of the iris. Would people really want those potential risks and/or side effects? I mean, you're messing with your sight here. I've always had long lashes and find them a pain at times - they curl the wrong way and poke your eye and you have to pluck them (ouch), they catch on your glasses, etc. I can't help but feel that we'll find out 10 years down the road that med cause some kind of cancer.
My husky Cara had seizures, she was never on medication though - sm
She only had them about every 18 months or so, granted I don't know if she had others when I was at work during the day, at night she slept in our bed with us. I believe the seizures contributed to the shortening her life though. She died days after her 8th birthday (cancer) in 2003. She never bit her tongue either, and the seizure was a few minutes and then after 15 or so minutes she started to get back to normal, but she would usually sleep for a long time after having a seizure. Since your dog's seizures seem to be getting worse I would opt for the medication. If you vet gives you a hard time then you might want to think about going to a different vet. Good luck.
Risperdal is the only medication approved for kids...sm
our 7-year-old has been on this medication for 1-1/2 years and it has been our miracle drug with her. The mood swings are tons better and if she skips a dose we can definitely tell the difference. Some patients do experience weight gain with this or the other bipolar medications. You can get information about bipolar kids from the website bpkids.org. Good luck to you!
Has anyone ever been prescribed a medication that their insurance refused to pay for it?

Question about taking vitamins with allergy medication
This may sound like a stupid question, but I've never taken allergy medication and now I've got bad allergies. Just took a vitamin C about 10 minutes ago. Is it safe to take an allergy pill (Clariton I think it is) so soon after taking a vitamin, or does it even matter. Again, sorry if that sounds stupid, just not used to taking either and my head/eyes feel like they are going to explode and I'm sneezing and coughing and runny nose, and just feel icky all over but have got to work.
No I dont and I dont take any medication for anything. nm
