The drugs themselves are as safe as those sold in the United States:
they are made by the same drug companies.  If they weren't safe,
Canadians wouldn't be taking them.

The real safety concerns lie in the middle-men.  The problem with
importing drugs is making sure that you actually get the drugs you
order.  There are concerns such as that scam artists could sell drugs
claiming they are from Canada, switching them with counterfeits.

I have seen many highly reputable assisted living centers (senior
citizen homes) order prescriptions from Canada.

While I can't give you medical advice, I can tell you, as someone who
has spent a significant amount of time in many nursing homes providing
services, many of the best nursing homes rely on prescription drugs
from canada.

It is critical that you find a reliable source of medications, and
hopefully someone will be able to provide you with that information.

I hope that helps!
