I am looking for a cheaper source of drugs. I am currently taking lamictal and abilify. I have no insurance coverage for these drugs. (long story).

I went to Drugstore.com and its prices was the same as my local Walgreens. I then went to Canada Prescription Service of Nevada which is a Canadaian pharmacy licensed by the State of Nevada Pharmacy Board. Its prices were more than Drugstore.com.

I then found RxCC Rx Care Canada which claims to be a pharmacy licensed by the Province of Manitoba. It even provided a license #. Its prices appeared to be much lower.

Am I missing something? Is there a good source for high quality generics?

Thank
NVBP

If there is walmart near you check there. If youhavw generics sometimes you can get them for $4.00. You may want to check into that. good luck--jen

Just one word of caution - if you choose to buy Canadian drugs and have them shipped across the border there is a possibility they could be seized. It happened to a friend of mine.

They've eased the restrictions for individuals buying Canadian drugs in person on the Internet:

* The $4 Prescription program is subject to the following restrictions.

This program is available at all Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Neighborhood Market pharmacies, except in North Dakota (the pharmacies inside North Dakota Wal-Mart stores are leased and operated by third-party providers). $4 prescriptions are for up to a 30-day supply of a covered drug at a commonly prescribed dosage. Your participation in certain prescription-drug plans may entitle you to pay even less than $4 for certain prescriptions. If you are eligible, you will be charged the lowest applicable amount. Certain drugs are priced higher in CA, CO, HI, MN, MT, PA, TN, WI, and WY due to state laws.

The list of covered drugs is subject to change. Not all prescription drugs are covered by this program.

Only prescriptions initially filled in person at a participating pharmacy are eligible for the $4 rate; refills must also be picked up in-store, but may be ordered in person, online or by phone. This program is not available for prescriptions filled by mail order. See your Wal-Mart pharmacist for more information.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catal...PageCatId=5431

I find that this list is mostly the same across all places with $4 drugs.

Target also has a $4 list but it is about the same as the Walmart list. Walgreens just started a subscription type program. Apparently you pay a price to join and then you get a really long, inclusive list of drugs that MD can write RX for but should be for 3 months - the best price is $12.99 for 3 months of drugs. Not sure what the joining price is - something in the back of my mind says $100.
