That is a difference of $50,000 per year. A DOCTOR prescribed it, INSURANCE (United, OF COURSE) won’t cover it, so then what??
But our own government gives us a runaround of scare stories, AND I know that there is SOME danger, perhaps.
The runaround is the FDA and Big Pharma create website (safe.pharmacy) supposedly so you can “check the safety” of online pharmacies. If you type in the website of an online Canadian pharmacy you’ll see a scary warning about it not being recommended. You have to look hard on that website to find out the reality: NO online Canadian pharmacies are in their website — and why is that?
Q: Why is a pharmacy not included in the list of Accredited Healthcare Merchants?
A: Only pharmacies that have achieved NABP’s Healthcare Merchant Accreditation are included on the list.
Q: I am located in the United States. Are there any Canadian pharmacies I should purchase from?
A: Currently, no Canadian pharmacy is licensed in the US. For that reason, no Canadian pharmacy that offers shipping to the US is NABP-accredited.
To protect patients from harm, each US state requires that resident and non-resident pharmacies obtain pharmacy licenses. Without a valid license, it is difficult (if not impossible) for state regulators to directly inspect or investigate claims of patient harm; this is especially true when the activity is coming from outside the regulator’s jurisdiction.
A set of websites (FDA, pharma associations) point to each other, seemingly helpful questions like “how do you verify the safety of a pharmacy?”, or “check here to be sure the pharmacy…” but at the end of the day,
they have NO INTENTION of approving ANY Canadian pharmacies.
This is all to “protect patients from harm”, don’t you know?
What a grotesquely greedy system has evolved in the U.S. of A.
