Hi Jack,

 

Thank you for your question! Ordering from Canada is probably not the best idea. The FDA has no regulatory authority over Canadian manufacturers, so there's no guarantee that the medication you're receiving from Canada labeled as Flomax is the same product that is marketed as Flomax in the United States. As an alternative, you could try the Boehringer-Ingelheim Cares program, a patient assitance program sponsored by the manufacturer of Flomax. I hope this helps!

 

Best of luck,

Casey
