> I highly doubt it has anything to do with being on a generic. Does your GP know you are on these meds? If you are getting meds from offshore pharmacies, you should be careful, as recent investigations have shown many of these to sell either bogus, dangerous and/or inappropriate amount of ingredients in their pills.
I would agree... I um... have obtained prescriptions that are shipped from the US and I could tell by looking up the doctor in the state registry and also the pill stamp and the pharmacy (which happens to be a US mail order pharmacy) that it was legit (well in a manner of speaking)....
....but someone in a certain foreign country is making a bundle by proxy as I could see through multiple domain name lookups.
Now the ones that ship direct from some odd country, better be prepared to have knowledge of what the pills really are. Yes, big drug companies that have approved products in multiple countries make their brand name pharmaceuticals in other regions.
I think the poster meant one of those 90 day mail-order pharmacies (like the one I encountered through this circuitous web-deal) are approved by whichever (US) insurance company and there is a discount incentive to use them as there is little pharmacist overhead and prices are wholesale.
At least I hope so.-- Jay
