I’m on a tight budget, and trying to find a better price for medication I need than I can get at the local pharmacy. The problem is that I’ve heard bad things about people getting watered down drugs from some of the online places.

Can anyone who has experience with any of these companies point me at some that are selling what they say they are?

What kind of medication?

You can try [http://www.pill-box-online-pharmacy-discount.com/](http://www.pill-box-online-pharmacy-discount.com/) in the US or search for Canadian or Mexican pharmacies.

An article in the Chicago Tribune - in the context of a story of the Gov. wanting to import drugs from Canada in order to save millions of dollars - referenced The RX Depot and The Canadian Connection as websites. I would assume, then, that they are considered reputable. But that’s just my sense.
