My mom and dad are on a trip to the US and won’t be back for a few weeks. Mom – bless her lousy memory – has ‘misplaced’ her medication, which is entirely necessary for her survival. She is good until next Thursday when she’ll run out of it, and doctors in a hospital in the US told her they can’t do much because she’s taking a whole array of medicines and they don’t know the active ingredients in the one she’s taking.
Anyways, I bought her a couple of weeks worth of pills and planned to send it by courier Monday morning, but my aunt called me today and said that I can’t send medicine without a prescription. My parents live about 350 Km from me, and so is my mom’s doctor, no time to see him, but I could have a friend-of-the-family doctor write one, he was my mom’s doctor some time ago. He is out of town today and will be back tomorrow evening, which means that I have even shorter time to send her pills… she could run out of them by Thursday.
Anyways, is this ABSOLUTELY necessary? Will the FDA hold on to my mom’s pills? Has anyone ever sent/received medication by courier?
