Ordering Prescription Drugs Cheaper

I will be buying extra prescription drugs online via Canadian pharmacy. I can get 3 months worth for what I usually pay for 1 month (with insurance!). Because of the way health care is in Canada, medicine is cheaper there. The down side: Canadian pharmacies will not accept your insurance. You will have to pay the whole price. The bright side: The whole price is not as bad as what it costs here. Some medicines are more of course, depends on what you are buying.

I have not chosen a Canadian pharmacy yet, but I will go to google.com and then use Froogle to find one (they have merchant ratings, which is nice).

Perhaps some of our friends in Canada here can recommend one... that would be great. Does anyone have any recommendations?

That's what I am also worried about.......obtaining enough if there is a shortage.  With insulin ranging from 84.00 for one kind and 35.00 for the other two that makes it hard to stock pile enough for 6 months or a year.  Any help where I may order it cheaper will greatly be appreciated.  We have insurance but I know that they will not pay for any to stockpile.  At least with insulin and syringes you don't have to have a prescription to purchase it. 

HeyEveryone.  If you are looking for a Canadian pharmacy that is reputable and don't want to worry about whether the drugs you are buying are counterfeit, the state of Wisconsin has a list of approved pharmacies that it has physically inspected and gives them its seal of approval for its residents.  The pharmacies are:  CanaDrugs.com, Granville RX (Onlinecanadianpharmacy.com) and Total Care Pharmacy (crossborderpharmacy.com).  I think total Care Pharmacy is also approved by the state of Minnesota.  I found the best prices at CanaDrugs.com.  Hope this helps!

  Does any one know of a pharamcy that would fill a prescription for high blood pressure and heart medication?  I went to the doctor 3 days ago to ask for presc.  The nurse said she would tell him what i wanted then call me back to let me know.  I haven't heard from her.  i will call or go by there tomorrow.  I know my insurance won't pay, we are willing to pay for the extra months medication.  Does any one have a doctor that would write me a prescription?  I could have them filled by an online pharmacy.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Thanks Guys.

I've been purchasing my diuretics from this company for the past few years.  I've also purchased Zithromax from them.

A couple of thoughts:

Missipmama:  You'd do far better to call the doc again and again until he calls the Rx in.  Pharmacies will not fill Rx without this.  Also, consider aasking the doc to double your dose on the prescription...if you are supposed to take a tablet once a day, then ask him to write it for two tablets once a day. or one tablet twice a day.  This will allow you to keep a bit ahead on prescriptions.  Tell the doc why you're doing this.

I was also under the impression that you do NOT need a prescription for insulin.  I believe that Eli Lilley set this up when the drug was marketed, or so a pharmacist once told me.  Insurance companies like it of course, so they can be sure they don't have to pay for more med than they have to.  Will have to look this up, but I think I'm correct.

 

I know for a fact that you don't have to have a prescription for insulin.  I have 2 diabetics in my family (son & hubby). 

I have been buying my daughter's insulin from Canada for about 6 months now.  I have had a great experience with:

TYPE 1 DIABETICS....please note that cinnamon is recommended for TYPE 2 diabetics.  TYPE 1 is a completely different "horse" so-to-speak.  We do use cinnamon as a SMALL part of my daughter's regimin...to increase the efficacy of the insulin.  However, I caution anyone from assuming this is a substitute for ANY sort of Type 1 diabetic insulin requirement.
