I have ben using Paregoric for years abd it was taken off the American Market . I still am in need as it is the only thing that helps me. Where can I purchase it in Canada ## From what I could gather, The manufacturer "Ranbaxy" of India is the only source for this tincture of opium, but please correct me if I'm wrong. As another possible solution here in the U.S., there are specialized pharmacists called "compounding pharmacists" who know how to make things of this nature. If you have such a company in your area, I'd think it would be very simple for them to compound "tincture of opium" by merely diluting ordinary liquid morphine sulfate to the strength of the prepared tincture. Keep in mind that you'll want to make sure you find legal and legitimate ...

I just got a batch of Oxycodone HCL(generic oxycontin) in Ontario Canada and they do not seem to come even close to the original oxycontin.What's going on?I was told by my pharmasist that the ingredients are the same-I used to take 4 80's a year ago and that relieved my pain-Now I am doing 6 80's and it doesn't seem to be close to what they used to be.Is it a matter of getting used to them or what ?help Pls-still in agony Does anyone have a real answer rather than opinions? ## There is a level of allowable fluctuation in generics in both the U.S. and Canada, so you may not be getting quite the same amount of Oxycodone as you were before. Learn more Oxycodone details here. You might want to discuss upping your dosage, if necessary. It's also possible that you've j...

changing from Methadone for pain to Suboxone for pain. Pain clinc is trying to pass the buck, I cant find a GP in or around the Trenton Ontario area to prescribe. I have been taken 150 mg pill form for 6 years works good. But moved pain clinc is in Oakville Ontario usually pain clinc wants your GP to take over prescribing but most GPs are nervous because they have to get a section 56 Methadone exemption. Canadian government needs to make it easier to get, would help out a lot of people. Try going to a Addiction centre just to get Medication closer to home. But those places are very very degrading they treat you like a criminal must pee in cup in front of them very week sometimes more. Also dirty place ect. I was getting prescriptions 2 months at a time. They wanted to give me a weeks wo...

What does the Canadian version of a 1mg Dilaudid look like? It has an 1h on one side and APO on the other and it's green. ## Yes, this tablet is a generic for Dilaudid that is manufactured by Apotex Canada, they list it as containing 1mg of Hydromorphone. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can we order Canadian Oxycontin legally? I heard Canada and the rest of the world has Oxycontin under different names. ## Actually no, it isn't legal to do so. If there is an approved U.S. version of the same medication then it is not allowed. If you were staying in another country and it was prescribed for you there, you can bring up to 3 months worth of a medication back with you, as long as you have a legal prescription. The only way it would be legal is if all treatment options available in the U.S. have failed for a person for some reason or aren't available and medications that may help them are only available from a foreign country. Are there any questions or comments? ## No is the short answer , the drug ( All Drugs inbound ) to the usa , MUST have the USP label on it. T...

My husband suffers terribly with an inoperable back condition, with a severe curvature of the spine, bulging and herniated disks, etc. It has been suggested that he get his pain meds from Canada since has become such a challenge to get them here in Florida. The pharmacy has limited how many pills he can get in any given month, despite what his prescription calls for. The medication he is having difficulty getting filled is Exalgo. If anyone knows of or has dealt with a reputable Canadian pharmacy and can recommend one please let me know. ## Hello, Bekkah! How are you? Sorry about the issues that your husband is dealing with. There are limits on how much of any medication in a certain dosage he can receive each month, this has always been the case, it's just the some pharmacies weren...

Just started taking canagliflozin about 3 weeks ago. Have lost about 10 lbs but feel horrible. Shaky, rapid heart beat just horrible. Anyone else have these symptons? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? What are you taking it for? Since it is intended to treat diabetes, it may be making your blood sugar drop too low, which could cause the symptoms you've mentioned. It's also known to cause low blood pressure, which could cause the rapid heart beat. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I am taking it for diabetes. I took my BS often and it was not to low. Did not have blood pressure checked yet. I am still not feeling very good. I thought that maybe I was also dehydrated since I had been running to bathroom a lot, so stopped the med for a couple of days and increased the fluids. Feel some ...
