Last year my parents drove into Canada, saw a doctor, and got several prescriptions filled at substantially lower prices than they would pay in the U.S. This year, however, they are unable to travel that far, and asked me to check into buying their prescription drugs online. <BR>Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it legal? Any words of caution? Suggestions?

Hi Helen - here's a link for a Canadian On Line Drugstore - I checked in their FAQ's and it says they'll deliver to U.S. addresses: <BR> <BR>http://www.meditrust.com <BR> <BR>It's a reputable company used by lots of Corporate Drug plans. <BR> <BR>Good luck.

Elizabeth, thank you for the information.

Helen - forgot to mention something else. Many of the major Canadian drug stores offer on line prescription refills (not original prescriptions, but the refill) - if your parents filled their original prescriptions at a chain such as Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drug, Jean Coutu, etc they might be able to refill them on line.

Thanks again. They used a Zeller's in Windsor. I'll check to see if they ca get a refill online.
