If they are valid prescriptions issued by a licensed doctor or other medical professional who has the authority to issue the prescriptions after a legitimate treatment, then it is valid to purchase the prescriptions from Canada. In many cases, you can find similar prices in the United States, however, if you search for them. Many of the drug companies will subsidize the purchase of their medications for people of low income who do not have insurance.
