My husband is recovering from cancer and will need to take meds for the rest of his life. The meds come monthly from the Mayo Clinic. Does anyone else have meds shipped from the US and if so how has that worked? Thank you

I recently ran into that problem after 2 years here and buying the generic version. The drugstores
that I called told me that they didn't have my medication because the provider wasn't sending any.
I freaked out. Anyway I faxed my prescription to CVS and had it sent to Ross McDonald's service, Extending Lives. I had the drugstore send it to his Texas address, his service picked it up and brought it to his office here in SMA. I will pay him $10, and pick it up at his office. It's timely, but works. Good luck.
