How Close Does The Government Monitor Your Drug Importation?
By www.menhealthonline.biz
Usually when people think about importing drugs from Canada, a red flag pops up in there mind that reads, ILLEGAL. However that is not the truth or not the whole truth at least. Everybody knows that you can buy prescription drugs from Canada for much less than here in America. What stops them is fear that the government will confiscate their medication or that they will be caught breaking the law. But is it really breaking the law?
The most common misconception about ordering drugs from Canada is that it is illegal. In 2003 the government passed a drug importation law that made it legal to purchase prescription medication from Canada and England as long as the prescription was a personal amount (90 day supply or less). That law enforced a law that was created in 1954 that allowed consumers to by small personal supplies of prescription drugs from foreign sources.
Although this may sound like it answers our questions but there is much more to it. The FDA has set up other regulations trying to prohibit you from importing cheaper medications, in other words a “catch-22”. The FDA states that they don’t allow importation from Canada because they cannot guarantee the safety of their drugs. They also say that the risk of counterfeit drugs is much higher but guess who is the number one importer of prescription medication from Canada? You guessed it, the United States government. The government uses the medication to provide cheaper medication
