Import Pros & ConsYou may have heard controversial things about importing prescription drugs from Canada. Yet, millions of Americans are already doing it. Several city and state governments now do it for their employees - including Minnesota. From Canada, we obtain very low prices on brand name drugs, but not generics. For generic drugs, we obtain very low prices from a unique, specialized Minnesota pharmacy in the Twin Cities called FairCareRx. It sells directly to consumers (no insurance), and only sells in the original containers that come from the drug manufacturers' factories. (No counting and re-bottling of pills.) This saves tremendously on cost, and also eliminates the cost-shifting that occurs to cash customers because of the insurance companies' and HMOs' dictating how much pharmacies get reimbursed. The most reliable way to get drugs from Canada is to use a long-standing Pharmacy with face to face customers, and fully regulated by the Canadian government, rather then to buy from an operation that is exclusively mail order. The pharmacy in Manitoba that we are connected with has been in business over 25 years; has a strong relationship with suppliers; and gives excellent service.
