all drugs do have the same generic name in every coutnry. but they do have diffirent trade/brand names. if you are travelling to diffirent country and taking medicine, dont forget the generic (which means common) name of the drug you are using.

Generic and brand name medicines contain the same main drug. There are, however, often several ingredients, which are not the main drug, that are varied when you go from generic to name brand, or vice versa. These variations can cause general unpleasantness and you should check with a doctor before switching.

I think the idea is to punish those who are dealing LARGE AMOUNTS (like those selling to the US) and to not punish those who use it for personal use. Actually Cocaine, Heroine, and Marajuana are all useful Medicinal drugs, and were commonly used as such until Nixon.

I think so. I get mine in India (under the name Nimulide), but the doctor who prescribed it for me said that it was not FDA approved in the US

Looks like a bunch of the same ones in the US--however it's a dangerous place to travel with severe penalties for illegal drug possession...

If you don't know what a pill is, you need to throw it away, rather than guess what it is. Many pills are similar in appearance. Asking what they are on THIS forum isn't very useful.

EU countries regulate their own pharmaceutical dispensing and regulations vary widely from country to country. The best idea would be to pick a country and contact the embassy from that country. Each embassy will have a person who can easily answer that question or will be willing to find out the answer for you.

Generic Pharmaceutical is the same as generic drugs.\n\nQuoted from the source below -\n"Generic drugs” is a term used for prescription drugs identified by their chemical name.  When the patent has expired on a brand name drug, the FDA permits manufacturers other than the original developer to create a bioequivalent of the brand name drug and make it available to the public.  Generally, more than one manufacturer will create the generic version, although in many cases the same pharmaceutical firm that produces the brand name drug also makes the generic version.  This prompts competitive pricing of the generic version and usually results in a less expensive drug.

It depends on what country you specifically are looking for.  Try country abbreviations.  That should work.

Medicines can be cheaper in different countries but not all countries apply the same standards of quality and although the medicines are the same ones made by the same company they could be quite different.\n\nUnfortunately there are a lot of people who are prepared to sell imitation medicines and try to pass them off as the real thing, in many cases these poor imitations can be harmful.\n\nI know you're wanting to do what's best for your Mom but you should only take health advice from a professional - talk to your Mom's doctor or a pharmacist and see if they can assist.  That way you know that you are getting good advice.

The brand name which reaches well across the world is termed as branding across the borders...there might be companies in ur area which is familiar only in ur locality nd it has no value when u go outside it...a few companies have its branch all over the world and does good business at all the places that too without needing to change its name for any region where they establish it!! Hope u got it!!

Most overseas Pharmacy are not allowed to send drugs to people here.  Be careful

Not legally, at least in the United States.  Mind you, there are places that will either sell it to you illegally (a bit rare, being a felony and all) or have a doctor on staff look over a questionnaire you fill out and then prescribe the drug (much more common).  he FDA is currently looking into requiring any doctor writing a prescription to have a face-to-face consultation with/evaluation of the patient.

Valium distributed outside the U.S. so if they are in the U.S. they were smuggled in or through a mail order company.  The pills actually say Roche-10. Roche is the maker of the pills.

It varies on different countries.

Because the Canadian government offers a "take it or leave it" price to the drug companies on each drug, based mostly on the average world price, and generally they accept it. But, it is not all perfect. There are some drugs available in the US that are not available in Canada, partly because of this policy.
