... you don't see Canadians falling over dead by the hundreds, poisoned by ineffective or adulterated medications. I think Canada actually has more stringent regulations than the FDA, not to mention that they work in partnership and cooperate with the FDA.

My sister is actually a Canadian citizen ... started teaching French up there right after college and married a Canadian. She and her family love the health care system (they have never seen a medical bill and I had to explain what a copay is), and they have complete trust in the medications they get from Canadian pharmacies.

My experience with my Canadian pharmacy has been totally professional. They are very thorough ... my first prescription was seized at the border by the US feds (fairly rare), and they sent a replacement prescription by express mail at no charge. They also helped all their customers get through the recent Canadian mail strike with a minimum of disruption.

BTW, the reason my prescription was seized; although the label contained the Rx number and the prescribing physician's name, as well as the Lot number and other information about medication, the container did not contain the exact words "Rx only". Anyhow, no problems since then, and my doc's lab test was spot on. The FDA was required to send me a letter of notification letting me know why it was seized, as well as a statement that I was absolutely not charged with a crime.
