Spammage

I wonder why these US spammers are sending me offers for "cheap" drugs I can buy over the counter for 5x less than they are offering?

Remind me to have you smuggle me some antibiotics and painkillers. :) And lots and lots of psych meds. :)

I still need a perscription for them 8)

But pseudephedrin? No worries. Also, Ibuprophin is on SUPERMARKET shelves.

Ibuprofen is on supermarket shelves in the US too.

They're cheap in quality, not in price. Maybe quality makes cost go up as you reach either extreme?

So that Shrubya and the government can find yet another country to blame US problems on?Australia will thus join "the axis of evil" for thinking that cheap, available medications are a *good * thing, because we all know nothing is cheap in America :D!

As to pseudoephedrine and sudafed and like products, they are catering to the methedrine cooks overseas. The ones here can't get a steady supply now that the US has restrictions.

Oh, was that my out loud voice:D?

/me brought a good supply of my prescription drugs, and some painkillers with me when I left home. I had a large ziplock bag full of medicines.

9 odd weeks later, and i still have enough of the anti-psychotics/ anti-depressants, but the tablets I take for the side-effects are running low. I buy these over-the-counter at home for considerably less than the cost of a prescription.

In the US, however, I could buy only the one I take for acid reflux (which is worsened on the anti-depressants), and was told I needed a prescription for the anti-spasmodics that I take for IBS (usually only a major problem if I eat something with soy in it). So I figured I'd wait till I hit Canada, and if worst came to worst, I'd have to either live without it or get mum to send me some to tide me over.

In Canada, I could buy a similar product over the counter, but only in a bottle of 100 tablets. which cost me roughly $46 CAD. the ones that work best for me cost me approximately $10 AUD for 50. Slight difference in price, but since I'd stupidly eaten something with soy yesterday, I *had* to have the antispasmodic. And just for the record, no, it doesn't work as well. grrr.
