I was just price searching Salofalk (Canasa) which I re-order once a year and crap I see that CanadaDrugs.com is being shut down by US due to their shipping fake cancer drugs to US.
The article also says that FDA is seizing shipments too so if you've already ordered good luck.

Note: I don't know why this link is only partly visible. When I did a google search for CanadaDrugs.com I could read the whole article.

Canasa/Salofalk is vastly cheaper ordered from Canada (I have a high deductible so I pay for my meds out of pocket).

Just wanted to give a heads up. So moving on to either Big Mountain drugs or Northwest Pharmacy unless someone wants to give a different opinion.

I am a representative of Canada Drugs and wanted to reassure you that we are still very much around to support yourself and our many other patients.

If you would like to discuss this more, please feel free to call the call center. You can ask to speak to the Director for the call center who can review the article (please note, it's over a year old) with you.

I hope this helps.

Hi imagardener,

How much do you pay for canasa on the site?

(60) 1000 mg supps $141 ordered from Northwest Pharmacy today.
When I ordered them at my local pharmacy years back I about had a heart attack and said "you can keep them for that price" which was $600 for about 30 supps but memory is faint.

Previous posters spoke highly of Canada Drugs but I don't remember if I've ever ordered from them in the past. The article said the FDA was possibly stopping their orders coming through to the US. It always takes a while to get Rx from Canada, probably because Customs slows things down.

Hope this is not the start of a shutdown of other Canadian pharmacies. That would hurt a lot of people but I also support the FDA protecting us if fake medicine is being delivered. Rock and a hard place.

Wow. And I thought I was paying more for canasa. I pay $40 for a month's supply, though I use it 2-3x a week at most, so it ends up lasting a few months.

Thanks for answering that.

That's too bad. I've ordered from them and always gotten good products and service.

I am not certain how Google determines that, however the article was published Oct. 5, 2012.  While we were the focal point of that article, there is always a movement by the government and big pharma to restrict your ability to acquire safe, affordable medication through companies like us. Having said that, we will be here to support you for a long time to come.

Or do I have to move to Canada to get it?It appears Mutaflor is not available for general distribution i.e. it is only currently available from the company directly. Over time, they may broaden their distribution to include pharmacies, however currently that is not the case. Sorry.
If there are any other medications you are interested in, please call us or visit our website..
Again, I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Is it only me or others too feel fishy between the lines?
There is a statement that they gets hundreds of complaints about such pharmacies. I am like, sure, if you want Sildenafil and similar, yeah you will but Canasa that I can buy for $90 in Canada, I pay $3329 in the US, do the math. Still those Canadian pharmacies make a decent profit, because retail price of these medications in India/Turkey is about 5% of what we pay..

@ima,
Did you check universal drug store? I think they are cheaper, they get it from Turkey.


@CanDrug,
Agreed, you are still in business but would you mind clarifying counterfeit medications charge? Please don't tell me to call customer service.

CanDrugs has never sold that medication, is still licensed by all local and national regulatory bodies that are in charge of product safety because we never had anything to do with that product. If there was ever any issue of safety or breaking protocols or laws any or all licenses at our facilities would have been revoked.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
