Re: Internet drug purchase

If you are importing a drug into the US it must be approved by FDA for import. The perscription rules are governed by the jurisdiction filing the perscription, so if the European country accepts it they pharmacy can fill it.

If the US allows the use of the drug in the US with a Dr.'s perscription you should have no problem.

I would contact the FDA and see what their regulations are.
