The rumour out there is that Canada's health minister is banning bulk drug exports into the United States in the coming months. Although this has not gone through, we expect it to happen and be approved in the coming weeks.
This is what it means.....Does the individual who gets a monthly prescription for Celebrex or Lipitor buy in bulk??? No, they don't they are only allowed to buy 3 months supply at a time. Thus, this does not qualify as a bulk export. What does happen is exactly what it is, bulk exports of drugs sent back to the United States after they have been purchased at lower wholesale prices in Canada.
You will find that the vast majority of Canadian Pharmacies support this as they look forward to doing legal business with individuals who need to save a few dollars every month.
Another thing that I read today was a great article on Conterfeit medication. the article can be found here .
The most interesting and maybe it is true or maybe it isn't but the fact that the FDA goes on to accuse Canada of conterfeit medicine when the U.S. practises repackaging where small companies buy and sell a variety of medicines, which allowes counterfeit drugs to enter the supply.
This happening in Canada is very rare because of the already low prices. Here is a quote from the author "The FDA won't admit it, but buying drugs from legitimate Canadian pharmacies may be safer than buying from the drugstore down the block."
