Don't want to sound preachy, but it sounds like you're trying to get hold of medication without a prescription. Apologies if I'm wrong, but if this is the case, it begs the question - why do you want this medication.

Like I said, sorry if you've got a genuine prescription, but if that's the case, I doubt you could get that honoured at an online 'pharmacy'.

You can get your doctor to enroll you in the Lilly Cares program and get free insulin for a while. I'll see if I can find their toll-free telephone number for you, but as I said your doctor will have to complete the form and send it in.

Well, I've had some successes and failures. I'm sure anyone here would be happy to give a recommendation if they have one. Try to make sure they're legit, and having an actual physical address and phone number is probably a good idea. It kind of depends on what you're looking for. There are legit co's like Drugstore.com, that do seem to have pretty good prices, but you may be looking for pricing that's even less. There are some sites from Canada, if you type in what you're looking for on a search engine you will most likely find some.

Wish I had some better advice for you. May I ask what types of meds you're looking for?

georgej42,

depending on your location, there are many suppliers of Meds from Canada that have real, physical building, locations in the States. You might want to check.......I don't know how to check, LOL. I happened to find out there is one in a city close by because of a news report about Oberfurher Ashcroft's trying to stop cheaper Canadian Meds from coming into the U.S.

I've heard companies like Lilly are reducing the amount of drugs they are sending to Canadian pharmacies in an effort to stop them from selling drugs to American consumers.

Check out www.magendavidmeds.com. They are an Israeli on line pharmacy. Their prices are cheaper than the Canadian on line pharmacies. I like it also because it helps the Israeli economy.

Buying online.

Hi, I buy my drugs from AdvanceRx.com because my health insurance company wants their members to buy though mail order instead of a local pharmacy. My insurance company is Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee. I will save 600.00 or more a year by useing this mail order system. My diabetic drug costs at my local pharmacy around 50.00 for one month and at this mail order it costs me 45.00 for 3 months. What a big savings. These drugs I have are name brand and my doctor will not give me non-brand drugs.

Thanks, Rob

That's a big savings. Humalog is $65.00 locally and I'm having a real hard time affording it. Looks like I'm going to have to go to a slaughter house and start making my own insulin.

Lightbulb Buying Meds Online

Thank you for everyone's help. I looked at magendavidmeds. It is a great site. I decided to order my meds through them. I got a great discount on my meds and the process was really simple. I will update you when I receive my meds. Thanks all for your help.

I have used the following 2 Canadian pharmacies for about a year now and have had excellant results from both of them.

myprescription.com and canadapharmacy.com

Allow several weeks for your first prescription and then about 2 weeks to receive refills. You fax your prescription to a toll free number.
