debate about importing Rx drugs from other countries

September 2000

There's a lot of debate about importing Rx drugs from other countries...to get them for less than they cost in the U.S.

For example, Zocor costs $2 more per tablet in the U.S. than in Canada. Prilosec is $4/cap in the U.S...$1 in Mexico.

Now more patients are going to Canada or Mexico for Rx drugs...and some physicians import drugs for their patients.
