Farmacia

Started May 21, 2007 · 9,378 views · 4 posts
Hi Everyone, I was wondering where I could find this information, or if any of you know off hand.

1. Is Avandia available in the farmacias there?
2. Can we buy it without a prescription, or do I need to bring one with us?
3. How much can we bring back per person?

Thanks!

Well I cant answer directly about this specific med but I will say that I have never had any issue purchasing any non habit forming med in PV w/o a prescription. The only limits on what I have taken back were my own pocket book after a week of throwing money around. :D
The FDA issued a safety alert yesterday about this drug.

warning
The FDA has not recalled the drug yet . you will find that a recent study done by these quacks , that they tested a few people unlike the actual 133,000 people the pharmaceutical company tested.
i think you have more risk of getting hit by a car in Calgary downtown or in Winnipeg on Regent Street than croaking on this drug.
