Q. If the price is too good to be real, the drug might be a fake! With Nexium over $4 a pill, I ordered it from an online Canadian drugstore. When the pills came, they were from India and they were generic.
This medicine did not work and now I have my asthma symptoms and cough back. I don't know what I will do, since I can't afford the name brand!
A. Acid-suppressing drugs such as Aciphex, Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec and Protonix can relieve reflux. Some people with this condition develop other symptoms such as asthma or cough as a result of acid irritation. If your medicine is not working, your condition might be aggravated.
You have discovered one of the pitfalls of using an online pharmacy. Not all “Canadian” pharmacies are located in Canada. Some online drugstores source their medicines from around the world to get a better price. The FDA has no control over the quality of such medicines.
We are sending you our Guide to Saving Money on Medicines with some tips on how to tell if an online Canadian pharmacy is legitimate.
