Locating Medicine

[Ally]

Hi,

Does anyone know of places to locate medicine/medication (grey market; not illegal) that I currently have a prescription for, as there's currently a national shortage of the drug in particular here (Aus). So if you know of any reliable relatively trustworthy sites for that, that'd be great.

Edit, and yes, preferably ones that don't require a script as those usually are mail-in (which take way too long). However, if there are ones that require a script without mail in, that's fine too.

Also another edit, to clarify, a site that provides safe drugs, thanks, no illegal or explicitly adult (outside of medication) drugs.

Thanks.

Contact your doctor, explain the situation and see if he/she can prescribe you a replacement drug (that is available). Buying drugs from shady sources on the internet is definitely not a good idea!

Most medications have a "sister" or a "brother" - a medicine that is very similar to the medicine. Like explained above, you should contact your doctor and explain that you have ran out. If your prescription is serious/life threatening/detrimental to life they have to either provide you with the drug or find you a replacement, temporarily.

Depending on the medication you should be able to get hold of a temporary replacement, however with using a different drug the side effects will differ and could either be easier to handle or worse.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks, but these alternatives are out of stock in most places too as a result of the current shortage, I am aware.
And look, I wouldn't be posting on here of all places if I hadn't already exhausted my options already.

Shoppers drug mart in Canada. Not sure if there is any in the usa/aus.

Agreed ^ Would maybe be worth it to call/inquire if you can send a prescription, get someone from who lives in Canada (easy to find people; aka me) to pick up the prescription whilst paying the fees and sending it your way via mail.

Of course, unsure if Shoppers accepts out of province/country prescriptions but it's definitely worth a shot.

I completely agree with this. I think you should try every single option you have no matter how far it is or how hard it is to get. I doubt there is but if there is anything you need help with feel free to message me.

I really hope you get the medication you need
