24. I buy my antiseizure med from Canada

Fri Mar 21, 2025, 04:43 PM

Mar 21

I need to take the brand name for my antiseizure medication as generics can vary wildly on the amount of active ingredient in them. For years I have ordered my medication from an online Canadian Pharmacy. You must make sure they are legit, you can google how to do this. My medication is almost $1000 a month in the US, the same medication--which comes to me in the sealed manufacturer's box--is less than $200 for a 3-month supply from the online Canadian Pharmacy.

You can see if the medication is available via the pharmacy website and how much it costs. Certain medications cannot be purchased from an online Canadian pharmacy. Any controlled substance, for example, cannot be purchased from a Canadian pharmacy.
