I just paid 100 dollars for a 90 day supply of Lipitor using my Harvard Pilgrim Health Insurance. They charge you a 35 dollar co-pay per prescription per month.

I can get the same thing from Canada, albeit generic, for as low as 68 dollars for 100 pills. When is our government going to look out for us like Canada looks out for it's citizens?

The site below is a monitoring site and verifies the legitimacy and licensing of the listed pharmacies.

Wow. I just checked that site and my medication that runs about $200+ here for 30 days supply is there for 90 days supply for $58!! Incredible.

I get my toothpaste from Canada. I have too...it's a prescription specialized fluoride toothpaste that is WAY overpriced here in the states, but non-prescription and cheap in Canada. It is the BEST thing that ever happened to my teeth. I wish our drug system was a bit more reasonable like some other countries. 😐

I have ordered from Canadian pharmacies before and have never had any trouble getting the product. It is my understanding that the Obama administration has a policy of not enforcing the restriction of buying from Canada.
