My cousin has a rare genetic form of epilepsy. He has had it since he was about 12 years old and he’s now 25. It has become so bad recently that he has been having continuous seizures and the doctors haven’t been able to get them to stop.

My aunt and uncle have seen doctors from Australia and Canada who have been more specialized in this rare form of epilepsy. The doctor in Canada gave him some medicine that wasn’t approved by the FDA in the United States, but was available in Canada.

Right now the doctors here in the United States have told my aunt and uncle that using that medicine may be the only way to get his seizures to stop. They are unable to contact the doctor in Canada at the moment and we are trying to find a reputable pharmaceutical company in Canada that will ship to the United States.

If anyone could just give me the phone number of some doctors or pharmacies they know and trust in Canada I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you know any reputable pharmaceutical companies that will ship to the US please let me know their number.

My cousin has never been this bad before. He’s been in the hospital for the last several weeks and they have a tube run down his throat. If they can’t stop the seizures, he could die.

Please Help,

Hi Webshark.
Ordering drugs from canada will require your cousins american doctor to give it the o.k. Sounds like that won't be a problem though. Affordmeds (http://www.affordmeds.com/faq.htm#3) is very popular for importing canadian drugs in to the US right now. If they dont have the specific drug you're looking for, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
BTW, I'm not canadian, just a caring american.
Good luck to you and your cuz.

Hello webshark,

Canadameds is another one.
Listed under their common questions -
Can you fill prescriptions from non Canadian doctors?
Yes we can once a Canadian doctor has reviewed your "chart" and approved the prescription under his/her Canadian license.

Best of luck to your cousin.

Marina

Edit: Is this the drug you are referring to?

Hi, WebShark,
Just out of curiosity: what kind of specific epilepsy drug in Canada were you talking about?( I am in the pharmaceutical field:) ).
Hope you cousin will get the drug he needs desperately.
