Getting generic Viagra in Canada is similar to getting it in the US in that you present a valid prescription to a pharmacist. Doing this to save on prescription ED medications is less necessary than it once was, because generics for Viagra and Cialis (and soon, Levitra) are available in the US and you can save money without crossing the border.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because all prescription drugs are subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, it is that\u2019s agency\u2019s rules that apply to the importation — whether in-person or by mail — of such products from foreign sources.<\/p>\n
