I have serious COPD. One of the drugs that allow me to do things like go for a walk or even climb the stairs to bed without being connected to an oxygen machine is called Combivent. When my doctor first prescribed it, the pharmacist said the price would be $1024 for one small inhaler that lasts about a month. I was ranting about this when a friend told me about a Canadian pharma company. I contacted them, and found that their price for a Combivent inhaler was about fifty bucks (same manufacturer)! Needless to say, I now buy many of my prescriptions from them. The only drawback is that it may take 2-4 weeks for them to arrive in my mail.
I just received an email from them, which reads, in part:
Just as Christmas approached in 2021, Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) introduced a billed called the Domain Reform for Unlawful Drug Sellers (DRUGS) Act . This was followed up by identical text from Congressmen David McKinley (R-WV) and Bobby Rush (D-IL), who introduced the House of Representatives version of the bill .
On the surface, the DRUGS Act appears to address growing concerns about Americans' access to opioids and fentanyl from websites, yet it makes no distinction between websites selling dangerous items and those that you -- as a customer of canadapharmacyonline.com -- know to be a safe, trusted source for your daily medications.
Addressing the online availability of opioids and fentanyl is an extremely important matter. However, the DRUGS Act also incorrectly targets the shutdown of legitimate licensed pharmacy websites that sell legally manufactured daily meds approved by reputable health authorities in other countries for conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, COPD, high blood pressure and cholesterol. To be licensed in the U.S. a pharmacy must be located there AND therefore sell drugs at the high prices that led you to order your medications from canadapharmacyonline.com in the first place.
If the DRUGS Act is passed into law, U.S. residents who can’t afford their medications where they live will no longer be able to purchase from [enter name of website] or other legitimate non-U.S. websites that sell safe medications often 50 to 90% less expensive than in the U.S. If the DRUGS Act is passed into law, U.S. residents who can’t afford their medications where they live will no longer be able to purchase from [enter name of website] or other legitimate non-U.S. websites that sell safe medications often 50 to 90% less expensive than in the U.S. Our website will go dark and you will no longer be able to order from us to get your vital lower cost medications.
