As a new feature, CanadaPharmacyNews.com will provide links to Health Canada or FDA drugs warnings as they are released.

From Health Canada:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING TAMIFLU® (oseltamivir phosphate) AND PRESCRIPTION IN CHILDREN LESS THAN 1 YEAR OF AGE

From Suffolk Life (NY) Newspapers:
More & More Americans Agree Drugs Are Cheaper Across The Border
According to a recent 20-question survey administered by the State University of New York at Stony Brook, "Roughly two in three of all Americans support action by the United States Congress that would make it legal for individuals and states to purchase prescription drugs from Canada."

Leonie Huddy, director of Stony Brook's Center for Survey Research and an associate professor of political science, said this support cuts through all age groups and political affiliations.

From the Traverse City (Mich.) Record Eagle:
Many came to ask about low-cost medicines
Bernadette Prusakiewicz doesn't look like a renegade.

The grandmotherly Gaylord woman with soft, short curls and seven grown children had four prescription medications spread out on a desk before her Tuesday morning.

Prusakiewicz fought the cold to get to the American Drug Club in Gaylord for its grand opening.

She wanted to know how much she might save if she bought her medication through Canada, a practice the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says violates federal law.
