I do not order meds from Canada, however, I was watching the news this morning and they did a piece on a retired man who looked about 65ish and he orders his lipitor from Canada to save big bucks. The piece said that USA is starting to pull about 1 out of every 5 packages to see if they are medications. FDA says that if it comes from another country it isn't approved. The man said that the bottle says right on it that is is lipitor, showing the bottle, and he's been buying (I think online) for around 5 years. God forbid the med companies don't get there tremendous markup here in the states, huh?

I saw that too and I felt bad for that guy. He's been taking the meds from Canada for 5 yrs, they are obviously just as good as the High Priced Lipotor he'd get here in the USA. If they weren't the real deal then after 5 yrs he'd be sick etc........... There so many more things the FDA can focus on, leave the little people alone! Especially the elderly who are trying to prolong their lives. JMHO-
