Rx: Canadian drugs
Article Abstract:
More and more Americans are buying their drugs from Internet pharmacies that get the drugs from Canada. Canadian drugs are often cheaper than their American counterparts, and Canadian drugs must go through the same drug approval process as US drugs do. It is not strictly legal to import drugs from other countries, but the FDA will not prosecute individuals or state governments. Instead, it may shut down Internet pharmacies.
