Quick story - my grandfather's medicine is vey expensive/month, and insurance does not cover it (one of them is cingulair (sp?)). Does anyone get their meds on line? How do I know what he is getting is safe?

i don't think any of the stuff online is safe, sadly. that's why the price is so cheap.

and what's with everyone changing their avatars?!

The last one just wasn't me anymore! I was thinking of changing my name as well, but I haven't thought of a good one yet :(

My mom checked out drugs on the internet from Canada. Turns out it was still cheaper domestically with her HMO covering at least some of the cost.

yeah, but his insurance does not cover any of it. Just the one pill is ~$150/month not including all the other meds he pays for (some just have co-pays).

If it's from a legit, reputable pharmacy that requires a doctor prescription, etc etc, then you might have decent luck ordering online. But beware that a ton of shady sites have been shut down in the past year or so after they sort of blew up with the media and popularity and everything. Or customs will just nab your package and send you a notice, although you are out your $$ then.
