Title: Smuggling Triptans!
Post by zmattmanz on Apr 27th, 2009 at 6:13pm
Hey all,

I asked if anyone had ordered from an online pharmacy a few weeks ago and apparently no one does or is willing to say they do.  Apparently imigran and other sumptriptan meds are over the counter in the UK and Germany and I believe they are comparatively cheaper than here.  I'm going to Turkey in a month and I think they have a similar policy and I'm going to buy as much as possible to bring it back.  Has anyone else done this before?  I can only get 9 imitrex pills a month from my insurance.  I'm out of meds now and don't have very many options left short of filing for medicaid.

Thanks again.

Matt

Hey Matt,

You should check out a couple of web sites I just googled.

While I didn't see specific answers to your questions a quick call to the state department should yield results.

Good luck on your travels...

Buy from Canada. Quality as good as U.S.; their control system is, in some ways, better than ours. Also avoid the problem of counterfeit stuff which is flowing in from Asia.
