Robin in Tx Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey all, my dh was laid off this year and the new job's insurance won't cover one of his meds that is expensive (Celebrex). We're paying out of pocket which is expensive... we can get three month's supply from Canada for what one month costs in the states. We've heard that you have to be careful who you order from, though. We've heard some online pharmacies sell diluted drugs, etc. Any experience with this? Any online pharmacy that you recommend/trust? Thanks for any feedback. It's a shame we have to resort to this but finances are what they are... Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolin'mygirls Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 people that have done this with good results. Be very careful that you know with whom you are shopping--not all *Canadian* pharmacies are actually from Canada. Specifically, there's one pharmacy with *Canadian* in its title that's actually based out of India. You just need to do your homework about the company. But, as I said, I do know people that have done this both cheaply and successfully. nandell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey girl.....where have you been? I have heard a lot of the time if you contact the maker of the drug....they will work with you! My neighbor did this when he had cancer....he had no insurance....and he practically got his meds for free! Drop me an email..... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryTX Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 At least one major pharmecuetical company announced a month or so ago that they are offering FREE medication to those that have been laid off that were talking the medication before they lost their job. I think it was Pfzier, because the article lead with the line that Viagra was going to be free - but it wasn't just that medication. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Economy/wireStory?id=7584869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have ordered twice from CanadaDrugPharmacy.com. So far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have ordered twice from CanadaDrugPharmacy.com. So far, so good. I think this is the one my dh uses for his Xalatan. Our insurance only covers generics and that does not have a generic equivalent. He has has a good experience with them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My father had Parkinsons and one of his medicines was hundreds of dollars per month. My mother ordered from Canada for years and I don't think I remember her ever having an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
