The high expense of drugs in the US has
motivated some professionals, and patients, to seek more affordable foreign
supplies. This might appear helpful to patients who are unable to pay for
their medicines; yet, the FDA does not control drugs from abroad. Doctors and
patients cannot be sure these drugs meet FDA standards for security, purity,
and potency. A few of these drugs are counterfeit, putting patients in great medical
danger and putting physicians in danger of malpractice.
Doctors who buy drugs to dispense should check the wholesaler's license, and check that the drug maker approves the distributor as an accredited wholesale distributor. When a patient is buying drugs online or abroad, the doctor should educate and help those patients investigate alternatives including patient support systems and generic drugs.
Unapproved drugs sometimes don't include the active ingredients; could be contaminated with alternative substances, or heavy metals; they also may have been improperly stored. There aren't any promises for Americans who are searching for prescription drug bargains. Even 'Canadian online pharmacies' are frequently only shipping companies for drugs obtained throughout the world and aren't controlled regulated. The only safe policy is strict adherence to all legal guidelines in place to protect American consumers.
