I friend of mine has a few extra bottles of Humalog she'd like to sell. Very reasonable, sealed
and refrigerated.

And it's illegal to sell it. Humalog (worldwide) needs a prescription and without one, buying (and
selling) it is against the law. Be careful out there.

Yes. Particularly with Humalog. It's _very_ fragile stuff.

balony. Neither Humalog or Novolog/Novorapid are prescription drugs in Canada. You can walk into any
pharmacy in Canada and buy them.

Matt, Not saying you are wrong but when did Novarapid and
Humolog stop being a prescription drug. Just curious. I
always get a script for my Novarapid. Will the insurance
company pay if you don`t have it on scripte because it is
then classed as an over the counter drug? hmmmmmm

Humalog and NovoRapid have never been prescription in
Canada. No insulin
is.

Banting and Best reqired, upon the sale of the formulas to
Connaught Labs, that insulin be sold without prescription so
as to remain available to anyone that needs it.

The Americans drug companies and the FDA surmised that the 3
newest insulins were far enough away from the original to
require a prescription. There was also safety concerns
because of the speed of the new bolus insulins. This is not
the case in Canada. The Canadian government has remained
true to Banting and Best's wishes.

I got to know Humalog intimately long before getting a
prescription. But I had to pay out of pocket. Most insurance
companies require a prescription for drug coverage.

A pharmacist with any brains would require some proof that
you're a diabetic before selling you insulin. I had to show
the pharmacist my Medic-Alert before he'd sell me Humalog
years ago, and darn it, I knew the pharmacist (it wasn't
where I got my prescriptions, though).

Whether or not Lantus and Levemir will require a
prescription remains to be seen, but I very much doubt it.

Sooo....Come on up and buy your insulin here! I pay 53
Canadian bucks for 5 cartridges of NovoRapid. Not a bad deal
if you have to pay out of your own pocket.

At least in the USA, insurance will not pay for anything
that isn't prescribed. So while most insulins in the USA are
non-prescription, if you don't have a prescription,
insurance won't pay.

And actuall Novorapid/Novolag, Humalog and Lantus are not
the only prescription insulins. All U500 insulins are also
prescription. Admittedly they are about as common as hen's
teeth. I actually have a bottle of U500 as a collectors
Item. It is a 20cc vial, and comes in a red and white
stripped box to make sure you never confuse it with
U100...

For that matter, I belive the Glucagon emergency kit is also
no prescription in Canada.

(those are 3ml cartridges, and at 53 Canadian dollars, that
is about 35% less then USA price)...

Humalog is for sale wo prescription at:
canadapharmacy.comcanadapharmacy.comOpen ↗ The last I looked it was $28/vial.

I've ordered pork from them a lot. $10 shipping per order
and about three days to arrive with cold packs.

A lot of things, like nicorette patches, 222's(aspirin
w/codeine), lidocaine cream, parafon forte, etc. are over
the counter in Canada but prescription in the the States.

I didn't know that. In what sense of "require" (who was
obliged), and how did the requirement carry over to anybody
who wasn't Connaught labs (like the drug regulating bodies,
and so on)?

You mean, they (like certain people here) take the view that
they aren't insulin at all?

The Canadians being a slower steadier folk that their

Good enough for me Nas. I WAS sure that Humalog was a
script only item, but it seems that I was wrong. I can live
with that.

I don't think there was any 'require' - perhaps 'requested'
would have been a more appropriate word. I don't know who
the request was made to, probably the government. I do know
that Dr. Banting was haunted by the wasting away and dying
of children for many years before he started his research.
That's why he got into it in the first place.

Safety concerns were discussed here at length when Humalog
first became available in the US. I think the US government
(FDA) bowed to big Pharma's wishes. If a prescription is
necessary, then a higher price can be charged. Probably
boils down to a money issue.

True enough :-) I'd love to visit Munich, but I can barely
afford to go to Montreal!
