Meds from Canada

I've been buying prescription meds from a Canadian pharmacy, saving about $700/year over U.S. prices. You may wish to look them over for high priced items such as Imitrex www.LePharmacy.com, although you can find the names of many other sources by using a search engine.
I'd suggest that you print out their policy statement so that there is no confusioin on how they operate, etc. There are also several pages of medical history forms to be completed but once this initial flurry of paperwork is handled it's smooth sailing. You will need to get new prescriptions from your doc to mail in but check the site for package sizes before asking your doc: some package sizes are slightly different in Canada (one of my Rx comes in bottles of 90 vs. 100 in the U.S.).
Example of savings: Imitrex injection is $50/dose in my area vs. $30 from this source; the nasal spray is $26 vs. $15.
If you are using other prescriptions drugs you might consider one big order so that shipping costs are spread out. I've found it takes about 10-days to get an order: comes by U.S. mail without a problem; no Customs charges, etc.
