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.

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.
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!
Where to buy $4 prescriptions
Is there other places that offer the cheap prescriptions?
DH is on 2 meds...walmart only has 1 on their list of $4...I was hoping to find another place that offered both of them cheap.
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. 
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.
Sam's or Kroger have $4 prescriptions
Does anyone here get their prescriptions from Canada? please sm
My husband has epilepsy and is on Lamictal. It costs us about $130.00 a month to get the prescription (would be @ $750.00/month without insurance). He went to his neurologist yesterday and he told my husband that we could always get it from Canada but we aren't sure how to do this. The neurologist wants to keep him on brand-name only. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)
anyone ordered prescriptions from Canada?
I'm on Benicar, Restasis eye drops, and Celebrex and found out the group insurance offered by my new company has $5000 deductible and doesn't cover drugs. I bought BCBS on my own and there is an extreme limit on brand name drugs. I'm thinking about ordering from Canada but wondered if anyone else has done that. They advertise 180 Celebrex for $97 and BCBS will charge $180 for only 30.
I found herbs did squatola for me and prescriptions...
really messed me up. I think I was "experimented on" by my PCP who literally tried everything available over a period of 5 years. I've always been anxious--even as a little kid I'd be up at 5 a.m. all by myself and at the bus stop 45 minutes early (I truly did have to walk a mile to the stop!) beause of my nerves. My parents were both like that as well...always to work early, always had appointments meticulously written down on the calender, clocks always ahead 15 minutes fast....I've just relegated myself to living with it...keeps me sharp. I figure we're either warm blooded, hot blooded, or in the middle. I'm way out there on the hot-blooded get-the-thorazine-Big-Gulp ready edge.
Er...okay, so I'm mildly insane but that's what makes me "special" right?!
