Getting a prescription filled in Canada
We're driving from DC to Toronto later this spring, and would like to take advantage of the more reasonable prices for prescription drugs in Canada. Shopping around, it seems like I'd save a couple hundred dollars on a 90-day supply of a diabetes medication that I take.
I've been told that we need to get a scrip from an Ontario doctor or walk-in clinic, and should bring a scrip from back home and a bottle of the medication to quicken that process. Otherwise, the drug stores can't sell to us.
So I checked a couple places, and found a walk-in clinic in Niagra Falls that charges $125CAD to see a doc and write a scrip, and one in downtown Toronto that charges $80CAD.
Are there any pharmacies that have a "doc in the box" who can make this a one-stop shop, or does anyone have any suggestions how to expedite this process or save a few dollars in getting the authorization?
Thanks in advance for your help.
