Canadian Meds

Has anybody taken Budesonide from a Canadian drug Co.? If so, what were the results? These meds are a lot cheaper than in the US.

Yes, several members have bought a generic form of budesonide from Canadian pharmacies. Members here have found that the meds work as well as the expensive domestic name brand products. If you order from Canada, you will find that the product you receive is virtually always the same product that other members here order direct from an Indian pharmacy (Budez CR). The only difference is that the Canadian pharmacies mark up the price approximately 40 % and require a prescription, whereas the Indian pharmacy price is much lower and no prescription is required. (Prescriptions written by U. S. doctors are not valid across international borders, so the prescription requirement by the Canadian pharmacies is strictly a "feel good" requirement, with no basis in law.

I ordered my entocort from Canada Pharmacy. Did not have any problems. Just be aware that it takes 2 to 3 weeks to receive

the med. I still order a couple of meds from them on a regular basis. No problems.


Hope this helps. Christina

mjgarr,

I forgot to mention that you can also order the name brand product (Entocort) from Canadian pharmacies. That's not possible from the Indian pharmacy — they only sell the generic Budez CR.


Christina,

Isn't that what you received — genuine Entocort EC? Was it priced higher than the generic?

I received the generic. When I was ordering it the cost was about $65 for 100 pills.

The current cost for 100 pills is $125.

I got my budesinide from a Canadian pharmacy and was very satisfied. It may be possible to have your GI doc prescribe budesinide as a compounded drug. My doctor did this for someone without insurance and without a job. If was pretty affordable.

Just wondered what pharmacies people used in Canada. I printed out the info from a pharmacy called "Canadian Pharmacy King". I have never order from a Canadian pharmacy and am unsure of which one to use. Can someone give me a name of one that they used that shipped to the US that worked for them. Thanks.

I've used them for years, recommended them to my GI doc for his mother. He was very sceptical but did some research and his mother now gets her meds from them.

What is the Indian Pharmacy website?
Thanks.

Temple,

Here's a link to their generic budesonide page:

Budez CR - 3 mg

Their current price appears to be $49.66 for 90 capsules. Shipping is currently free for orders over $250, $15 below that amount.
