Back to Canada for my drugs

[Kennah]

Prices had been hovering closely between insurance and Canada, but insurance prices were remaining lower. That shifted on me significantly.

Asacol HD prices shot through the roof. Went from paying about $75 for a 30 day supply to now over $500 for a 30 day supply.

Canada does have generic 800 mg Mesalamine pills, which are even cheaper than brand Asacol HD.

My GI doc and I have openly talked about buying from Canada, and he's fine faxing the prescription to a Canadian pharmacy.

1. Have a new Doc.

She suggest Canadian ones and has Compond Pharmacy make mine if they are cheaper.

2. I have been using online drug discount sites and saving 90%

You might want to plug your drug into this site and see what it says

3. U.S. sources, so still out of my price reach

$534 for a 30 day supply (180 pills) of my Asacol HD

I use these two sites.

4. Make sure you get a pharmacy that is accredited by the Canadian government.

There is a list. I got my daughters meds there for a couple of months the cost here was $1200.00 per month ...she was put on a different drug later. I had a good experience.
