If you have no prescription coverage, would you purchase by mail order to save you half$$?

I would be very scared to use Canadian pharmacies.  As long as it is an American mail-order pharmacy I would use it.  I am in pharmacy school and recently finished a project on counterfeit drugs.  Although it happens in the US, it is a lot more common in Canada, England, and Mexico.

Only prescription medication; nothing you can buy over-the-counter

I assume you are talking about mail. \n\nIf so, yes, you pay a flat rate for the package. Some of them they will let you send as much as you can fit in the package.\n\nIt obviously isn't a good deal if you only have a couple ounces to send.

Every state is different so I can't really say, but if you have medicade you get the medicare prescription plan totally free so it can't hurt.

If you HAD to take it for medical reasons, then you should explain that to the people who ask for the test.  If you don't have your own prescription for it, then you should not be taking it.

Yeah, if you have a prescription.

Yes, if it's good insurance.  Or if you have NO insurance and very little money, there are some state-funded programs that will see you for free.

The coverage gap, occurs when the prescription drug costs reach $2250 (in most cases.) The drug plan pays 75% and the beneficiary pays the other 25%.  During the coverage gap, the beneficiary is responsible for 100% of their drug costs, but after they spend $3600 out of pocket the plan pays 95% and the beneficiary pays 5%.\n\nThere are a few prescription plans that do not have a coverage gap.  \n\nNo plan is perfect, but for people that have no drug coverage at all, Medicare does help.  People on Medicaid and Medicare still pay very little for their meds.\n\nI am a Medicare customer service rep, so all I hear are complaints. People never call up and say that they are happy with their drug plan...

1) They order it from outside the US where a prescription isn't necessary\n2) They order it from a pharma that doesn't require a doctor's visit, but a doctor does write the prescription (usually at a premium cost).  Example:  Local pharma with local doctor prescription is like $20-50 (less with insurance).  Online pharma without doctor visit is like $120-200 (or more) for the prescription (no insurance accepted). You'll want to verify the medicine is genuine when ordering online.  It could end up being a costly fake.\n3) They go to Mexico and buy it directly.  Mexican pharmacies don't require prescriptions.  With Mexican pharmacies, you have to be careful the drug is genuine, though.

This may help your affordability issue....\n\nNot about Serenity though.\n\nDo a search on this site for "free prescription drug cards" lots of web sites there.

There's generic and brand name drugs.  Of the brand name, there's formulary and non-formulary.  Basically, formulary is on a list that your insurance plan has recommended, or has reviewed/researched.  Non-formulary is not on this list.  This doesn't mean you can't get a prescription for it, or that it won't be covered.  But you may pay a higher percentage or co-pay due to its non-formulary status.

On a smaller scale, there are probably more local options out there to help you secure the proper medications that you need without causing so much financial strain. Talk to your doctor about samples. Most doctor's offices have closets full of samples of prescription meds laying around to hand out to there patients. Ask your doctor if any of the meds you are taking are there. I am sure he / she will be willing to help. \n\nAnother option is to consult with your local health department. Many health departments / public health service providers offer options for medication assistance to those in need. Ask if your local department has a "Pharmacy Access" or "Pharmacy Assistance" program in place. These programs will help those with the need for assistance in securing prescription medications at low / no cost. Normally, the only requirement for inclusion in these programs is falling within a specific income bracket. Have proof of your income ready when you inquire to make the process go faster. Some programs may differ and may have other requirements / criteria that have to be met. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Technically no, but it's amazing what you can get when you present the issue in a way that a pharmacist will feel safe about the transaction. \n\nI am amazed at how easy it is to get controlled drugs here in Costa Rica. I am not an abuser; rather have medical problems that require medications that must have prescriptions in the U.S.  Here I can merely show the prescription bottle (no ID required) or tell the pharmacist what I need. On New Years Eve I had an awful back pain and was able to get codeine with no problem.\n\nNow, if they think you want the drugs for illegal or recreational purposes, that's another story!

I don't think you can buy drugs that require a Federal prescription legally over the internet regardless of what other people tell you.\n\nYou could check with your pharmacist or your your Federal congress person.  I suppose you could also try and contact the Federal Drug Administration in your Gov't white pages of the phone book.

You are taking a chance getting drugs without seeing a doctor.

Yes, I once ordered it online when I couldn't get to my doctor.  It was the real thing and I had no problem with the delivery.  It is best to order it from a US based pharmacy (if you live in the United States) as overseas can take a month or more to arrive, and there is always the possibility of it being confiscated by customs.  That doesn't mean you would be prosecuted or anything, just that you wouldn't receive it after having paid.  It is legal in the U.S. because of the 'complimentary, online consultation'.  That's how they get around it.  But there are a few states that don't allow you to receive it - Kentucky is one, plus a couple of others.   Also, almost all of them only allow Visa as a form of payment.
