medication from a Canadian pharmacy. It is a real brick and mortar store. I buy a brand name product manufactured in Canada at a considerable savings over Costco. The service has always been prompt and there has never been an issue with customs.
Now, because of the tariffs and possible issues with customs they are no longer shipping to the USA. I want to thank the Orange Goon for reaching into my pocket and costing me a significant amount of money every month.

(2,535 posts)We use Northwest Pharmacy, they are still shipping to USA. The actual shipments usually come through India or Singapore, prices have not gone up.

(1,559 posts)At this point in time I am willing to pay extra for brand name or at least made in USA quality control.
Of course the destruction of the FDA may undermine quality control here as well.

These brand name companies have factories all over the world, how do you know where your prescriptions were made?
Eliquis doesn't have a generic brand.
