Ordering from overseas pharmacies - question

[Slyder190]

I had a similar thread and it was erased for no reason. I'lll try it a little different this time. If this thread breaks any rules, which I don't beleive it does, please let me know. If I order a 3 month supply of a given "product" from an overseas pharmacy, will the FDA detain it?

Depends what it is, and if you follow all the guidelines set forth by the FDA and Customs, which isn't likely to happen. So they can seize just about anything.

These are the guidelines:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) http://www.fda.gov prohibits the importation, by mail or in person, of fraudulent prescription and non?prescription drugs and medical devices. These include unorthodox “cures” for such medical conditions as cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis or arthritis, to name just a few. The FDA also prohibits the importation of drugs that haven’t been approved for use in the United States. Even if these drugs and devices are legal elsewhere, if the FDA has not approved them for use in the United States, they may not be brought in, not even under a foreign doctor’s prescription or an American doctor’s supervision. They may not legally enter the United States and can be confiscated should they arrive by mail. You may, however, order FDA?approved medications for which you have a valid prescription. Generally speaking, you should not order more than a three?month’s supply, and a copy of your prescription should be included in the package. Customs cautions you that Internet sales of pharmaceuticals from other countries that largely trade in medicines may not be admissible into the United States. You might want to check with the Food and Drug Administration to determine admissibility before you purchase any medications over the Internet.

I have ordered several times from the same place and never had a problem...They do NOT carry scheduled meds...I believe everything on there is legal to import a 90 day supply...

It may be legal to import, but that isn't the same thing as legal to possess without a prescription. I have ordered such a product and though it did arrive, it was definitely opened by customs.

I had a package from them opened as well, but it goes through...It was for a drug to treat breast cancer...

Well, I've posted what the FDA says. What the rules are and what actually happens aren't always the same. It may not be worth the trouble to seize non-scheduled drugs. It may depend on the actual agent opening your package, if in fact it gets opened.

They are on record as very restrictive on what is allowed under the "90 day rule". But actual practice may be a completely different story.

First they have to actually decide it's worth their time to open your package...as opposed to one of the other million or so flowing through. Basically, if it's not scheduled and/or in mass quantities the chances that it'll come through without any trouble are high.
