Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Anyone living near the Canadian border can purchase antihistamines OTC. Put them in a US bottle. They may go by different trade names in Canada. Because of the exorbitant costs of meds in the US, you now find senior citizens having to bus to Mexico with registered pharmacists on board (to advise the seniors) Pharmaceutical company are now dodging patent laws (used to be 20 yrs). Other countries regulatory boards approve sale of meds OTC. They are able to make just as much money selling OTC. I suspect the same will hold true in the US.
