摘要

Canada can expect even more raids on its national medicine cabinet following 2 significant changes to US prescription drug policy. US residents are now allowed to return from Canada with a 3-month supply of a prescription medicine and can to receive mail-order drugs from Canada without fear of retribution. The changes, approved shortly before the Nov. 7 Congressional election, were viewed as a means of currying favour with one of the nation's largest voting blocks: senior citizens, who've long appealed for the right to buy Canadian prescription drugs. Prices north of the 49th parallel are typically 40% to 70% cheaper because of Canadian controls on the prices through the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board.
