I WENT to Canada and was told with no uncertain terms that Canadian pharmacies can not dispense prescriptions without a Canadian prescription. I was attempting to refill my blood pressure medicine, which ran out during my trip. Getting a prescription from a mail-order pharmacy and walking up to a drugstore in Canada are apparently two different things. Perhaps the mail-order pharmacy obtained a license from the US, or perhaps the Canadian law in question does not apply outside Canada. In either event, if you take your prescription from the US to a store in Canada you'll be disappointed.
