Is it legal for Americans to buy prescription medication from Canada so long as they have a valid script?

Try calling Doctorsolve and see if they stock the drug and can fill it with your Dr.‘s Rx. I used it all the time to get drugs that were discontinued or just cheaper. It is legal.

@Blueroses They say they don’t carry it because it’s a controlled substance (C-IV). So that’s a bummer.

Yes.

@Rarebear Do you actually know this? Not just have patients who do it and thus assume it’s legal, but know that it’s legal?

@MyNewtBoobs I’ve never had a problem with it. Not sure about controlled substances, though—that’s I’ve never done.

@Rarebear would a US doc write a script for a med the FDA have discontinued?

@Lightlyseared Yes. I mean, I don’t know about all of them, but I know at least 4 who do and have.

I’ve written scripts for medications that haven’t been approved in the US yet.

no

With it being discontinued by the FDA, you may actually have to make a trip to Canada and see a Dr. licensed to prescribe in Canada.

I believe it’s legal. My sister n law gets her medication from a Canadian pharmacy delivered right here to the house. The drug is not FDA approved here in the states but is readily available in Canada.

@silky1 What Canadian pharmacy? I’m having trouble figuring which ones are valid, and which ones are scams.

@silky1 It’s just a matter of time until she gets a letter from the FDA saying they confiscated it at the border. She will not be in trouble, but will lose her money.
