Many of you may have heard about the ongoing war between the
Canadian pharmacy and the American pharmacy. The American FDA has
recently been trying to crack down on prescription drugs imported
from Canada to the United States. But why is this? What exactly got
the FDA's feathers ruffled?

The FDA states that it is illegal to import any prescription drugs
from overseas. Anything found at the United States border will be
seized. But this shouldn't include a Canadian pharmacy. Canada isn't
even overseas... right? That's what many Americans say who
frequently cross over the American border into Canada to go to a
Canadian pharmacy. This has gotten the FDA a tad angry.

Now why on earth are Americans going to a Canadian pharmacy? With
the rising prescription drug costs and the lack of good affordable
health insurance many can't afford to buy it in America. Canadian
pharmacies often save people as much as 40%, if not more. For some
people, a Canadian pharmacy is the only way they can afford to get
their much needed medication to survive. Just recently, you can now
order from a Canadian pharmacy online and have it mailed directly to
your home.

The FDA states that getting prescription drugs from a Canadian
Pharmacy is not safe. However, they have never shown any evidence of
this. They also state that purchasing prescription drugs from a
Canadian pharmacy will lead to lost jobs for us Americans. There is
no evidence of this either. Besides, people still can't afford to
buy there prescriptions in America anyways. In fact, some states
(like Wisconsin and Texas) encourage people to buy prescriptions
from Canada and they are even attempting to incorporate a
prescription drug plan with Canada.

A Canadian Pharmacy is safe and legitimate. There is no evidence
that a prescription from a Canadian pharmacy poses any health risks.
They also insure the same quality and potency as American
prescriptions but at a much cheaper price. To make you feel more at
ease, all Canadian pharmacies ask that you have a prescription from
your doctor and include you medical and allergy history before you
can purchase any prescriptions. This is also the same if you order
from a Canadian pharmacy online. Before ordering online from any
company, make sure that the company has a legitimate address and
that they provide a toll free number with live operators to assist
you.

Purchasing prescription drugs from Canada is an answered prayer for
many Americans. Some Americans wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't
available. It gives peace of mind knowing that there is still an
affordable way to get the prescriptions people need, even if the FDA
doesn't like it.
