RE: Online Purchases from Foreign Pharmacies - BuyerBeware!

[Guest guest]

Hi …

lest we be naïve………please note the country of origin of ingredients…if

you are able to attain them….for the painkillers the powder comes from

overseas to begin with….for other drugs they are also from overseas…..

do not think American drugs are American made or Canadian drugs Canadian

made….the powders that make the drugs are mostly European

It is legal in canada for the Americans to obtain the drugs…..do not be

misinformed please…the Americans put the bus tours out and they are seen

by the doctors here…..there are different methodologies for different

provinces…..

but…………..and bottom line…the compounds also no know borders….there is a

process required to obtain the meds but that is up to the individual to

aware themselves of what is fraud and what is not..

if one should concern themselves about anything it is the herbal

remedies as they are NOT regulated though that is changing….but foreign

powders make Canadian and American drugs…

thankyou for the welcome….however where is your legal knowledge that

says it is not legal to obtain drugs this way please….

when the American government determines how much money they are losing

via the process I am sure they will smarten up and do something about

this sickening situation….

PLEASE DO NOT BE NAÏVE AND THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PROCESS OF A

PRODUCTION FACILITY….THAT IS NOT QUITE THE TRUTH….AS I BELIEVE IT…that

is merely what they say…would be interesting to truly investigate the

components of these drugs..where the compounds are attained (((what

country with sanctions)))and how willing they are to part with the truth

of the delays…..

however……..the premise again is for our friends in the group to get

their medications………that thought cannot be lost…in all the things going

on..

regards

Hi and welcome, Sam!

Please don't misunderstand my cautions to the group, most of whom are US

residents. I am not trying to imply that Canadian standards are inferior

to those in the US, I am merely trying to warn people that buying meds

through the mail or over the Internet, especially from foreign

countries, has risk. Because of the distance and method people will have

a harder time knowing whether their supplier is on the up and up. Not

only that, if there is a problem, since it is not quite legal to buy

drugs this way, the victim will have little recourse. The US government

can't easily help if fraud is committed abroad.

So, I do wholeheartedly agree that people who need drugs should be able

to get them and obtain them at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, there

are unscrupulous people out there waiting to pounce, both here and

abroad. I'm not saying that people shouldn't choose shop with foreign

dealers, rather just be very careful if they do. Know your supplier as

best you can!

There are creeps in the US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, ... everywhere.

It's a sad state of affairs. Enbrel and Remicade are quite expensive, so

I would hate to see anyone cheated out of a large sum of money or

receive a drug that was not genuine and, worse yet, use it if it is not

safe.

I don't think there is any problem with the Remicade supply, but the

Enbrel situation is quite disturbing. I really think it is poor planning

and management more than anything else. Demand has outstripped supply,

it is very difficult to manufacture, and the FDA has constructed so many

barriers to get through that it is nearly impossible to build additional

production facilities quickly enough to ease the shortage. The

enrollment program that Immunex has designed seems to have a few flaws

as well.

Thanks so much for your input, Sam. True, these diseases have no

borders. Sorry we have such a sad thing in common, but your kind

thoughts are a very positive thing to share.

hi..

my husband works in an environment that is controlled by health

Canada.yet his company is American.trust me that the Canadian health

guidelines have stricter policies for contaminants in drugs..

as much as this is a rather sad situation be grateful that the process

is being halted somewhere in production of these drugs for there really

must be some contaminant involved for them not to reach their

productivity level...

as a matter of fact our government is now trying to restrict the sale of

the drugs to the Americans because they now realize there is money to be

made.so the rules will be changing quite quickly..

I don't know the fda guidelines or if they can or cannot protect you

but health Canada can by their guidelines set out..and I know how much

drugs get thrown down the sewer at my husbands plant simply from

contamination and not following the guidelines.so before we make this a

cross border issue..make it an issue where people are attaining the meds

they need at a price far lower than my American neighbours.

see up here in canada we have drugs according to income...if you make

50,000 a year you pay the first 1300.00 before all drugs are paid for

free...and your employer usually pays 80-100% of that deductible..

but the premise is to try get the drugs to the people that need them and

hope the makers of enbrel and remicade quit playing around with people's

lives and get their productivity issues settled down.

thanks

just sharing thoughts..not borders as disease no knows no borders.

sincerely
