Title: They are back after 2 years remission
Post by ginafitsemons on Jan 23^rd, 2005, 5:34pm

Hi all, Well, my husband had a two year remission. And this year they came back. Poor thing. We moved to NM and he went back to NY to tidy up things and they hit, so he is alone up there. He has a question. Does anyone get their imitrex from canada????? When he leaves NY so does his government insurance. So he wants to stock pile it.
Thanks
Gina

A good question, that I'm sorry I can't answer.

Most of us that need Trex, need it right now and if it's an insurance thing, we usually have to get it in the U.S.

I'd certainly recommend stockpiling while he has access. It will keep for a long time. Let us know what you find out. There are many here who are uninsured who would be interested in what you find out.

There's been a doctor in Canada charged because he was signing scripts for Americans. The guy made a lot of $ in a very short time, but Canadian law apparently states that a dr. may not sign a script without seeing the patient.

I don't know what that does to the thousands of Americans that used to come her to get their meds.

My brother and I have both been using this outfit for 3-yrs and have found them ethical. The only consideration is the need to plan your supply needs to account for the appx. 3-weeks it often takes to get an order. (Delay because of the PO systems in both countries which cannot be controlled.)

Their prices: injection, 6mg, 2 for $105
Kit, 5 pack, $188 (no statement of content of kit but assume it's the injector plus 5 vials)

Well, I'll tell ya, Gina - I don't know how much Imitrex is in the States, but we just paid $148 for 10 nasal sprays on the weekend. I think the exchange rate is north of 80% now, so I wouldn't think that you'd be saving all that much money.
