Questions and Answers

The U.S. government usually does not stop individuals from importing medications for their own personal use as long as . . .

1.) You don't order an controlled substances or schedule IV drugs
2.) You limit your order to a three-month supply
3.) You provide an original prescription.

However, it is technically illegal. Since we have been in business over the last six years eDrugSearch has ever known of an instance where the FDA has taken legal action against an individual for importing non-controlled prescription drugs for their personal use.

As of October 2006, U.S. Customs officers suspended their policy of seizing packages of prescription drugs from Canada in the mail and at border crossings.
