Reply #7: Canadian drugs are SAFER!!! [View All]

My niece buys her drugs from Canada. They come in their original sealed containers, usually 100 tablets. Contrast that to a pharmacy in the US. In the US they open the sealed container, count out pills, and put them into new bottles, with labels the pharmacy prints out. Tell me how that is safer that what Canada does. She can easily see she got the right prescription at the right dosage. This same niece worked in a pharmacy and told me of some of the errors made by the pharmacy techs. The pharmacist is supposed to double check these prescriptions, but rarely does. Sometimes the US pharmacies give the wrong medication, sometimes they get two different people's prescriptions mixed up, and sometimes they give the wrong dosages. The patient will never know unless he is 100% certain what his prescription should look like. When the patient gets his prescriptions from Canada, in the original container, the patient need only read what's on the bottle and knows what's in there.
