Any Canadians here from BC?

[nikimcbee]

Anybody form Vancouver or SW BC? Post here I've got questions for you.:D

[nikimcbee]

No. They ain't smuggling dope to you!
:03:
:haha:

I was hoping to talk insulin.:up:

[TarJak]

Is that what they are calling it now? :O:

Or are you looking at some Twin Peaks cross border shenanigans, one-eyed Jack's style?

[nikimcbee]

No. They ain't smuggling dope to you!
:03:
:haha:
Besides, if I wanted dope, just go to Seattle and breath the air.

[nikimcbee]

So basically, I want to buy my insulin from Canada.

Do the math: US price for Humalog= ~$175; Canadian price....:o ~$35.

Time to take a road trip.

I had a good healthplan, but not any more. You can guess who ruined that.

I did a little bit of research today (I'm at work) and reading some of the rules...:shifty::shifty::shifty: smurf, how the US is smurfed up.

[swamprat69er]

Check your U.S. Customs rules to see if you can import it. The FDA might have something to say about it.

[Jimbuna]

With such a huge disparity in prices Jason, I should imagine importing won't be allowed :hmmm:

[swamprat69er]

To the best of my knowledge you can't get it over the counter. You do need a prescription for it, so it will depend on whichever drugstore you talk to allowing a prescription from an American Dr.

It's looking pretty good atm.

These guys said they mail order to the US:hmmm: w/o problems. I don't know about that, but they do have an actual, walk in store. They take prescriptions from US Drs.

What are some names of Canadian chain pharmacies? Like Walgreens or CVS.

I'm more worries about scam pharmacies where they sell yousome knock off North Korean insulin.

Sweet jebus!
:salute:Name your beer.
Thank you for the help.

[swamprat69er]

No problem. and you are welcome.

[nikimcbee]

Harumph, They (the above pharmacy) doesn't take non-Canadian prescriptions.:dead: Back to square one.

Maybe I could see a Canadian doctor, get a Canadian prescription...

Still needs more research.

[swamprat69er]

I didn't think they would, but I have been known to be mistaken before.
Did you find out what they want for the insulin?

[nikimcbee]

I didn't ask:dead:. I got shot down on my first question. The online pharmacy sounds like a hit or miss (consumer reports says miss). I'd just assume find a trustworthy, walk in pharmacy, drive up there and buy it myself, so I'd know I was getting legitimate insulin.

[swamprat69er]

Find out how much, first. Don't forget to factor in your fuel to get there and back. And whether or not you can get it past customs. I would worry about customs first. IF they say 'no', then you are shot down in flames before you begin and it would save a load of leg work. Don't forget, if you go the CDN doctor route, you will have to pay the Dr. in cash because you wont have CDN medicare.

This one looked intreging, until I saw this:

http://www.canadarxconnection.com/products.php?drug=l

PLEASE NOTE-Jan 2013-Due to the sensitive nature of this product and its requirements for cold chain shipping, we have decided to stop shipping all insulin products. We will no longer accept any new orders for this product.

:shifty:
