Foreign Meds

Candy · 02-28-2008, 03:01 AM

Hi My Name is Candy and I'm new to the forum. I was wondering if any one is buying their insulin out of country. I am inquiring for my daughter-in-law. There are times she can not buy her meds because she can not afford them. They do not have any insurance and not old enough for Medicare. The cost of the meds is going to put them in bankruptcy. She also has other health problems that require other expensive meds They have checked into finanical help from their local goverment but they say they dont qualify. I really dont know how bad off someone has to be before your deemed in need of help. I would appreciate any info for anyone about anyplace she can go to obtain cheaper insulin and meds. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hello Candy:

Sorry, I didn't answer sooner but you didn't say what country
you are in so I don't know what would be a Foreign country to
you.

Here are a couple sites that may be of help to you and your
Daughter-in-Law. But again, I don't know where you are. I
hope that they help. We wish you and your Family Well.
