       IS IT LEGAL TO IMPORT MEDICATIONS FROM ABROAD?

       Is it legal for me to personally import drugs?
       In most circumstances, it is illegal for individuals to import
       drugs into the United States for personal use. This is because
       drugs from other countries that are available for purchase by
       individuals often have not been approved by FDA for use and sale
       in the United States. For example, if a drug is approved by
       Health Canada (FDA’s counterpart in Canada) but has not been
       approved by FDA, it is an unapproved drug in the United States
       and, therefore, illegal to import. FDA cannot ensure the safety
       and effectiveness of drugs that it has not approved.
       FDA, however, has a policy explaining that it typically does not
       object to personal imports of drugs that FDA has not approved
       under certain circumstances, including the following situation:
       The drug is for use for a serious condition for which effective
       treatment is not available in the United States;
       There is no commercialization or promotion of the drug to U.S.
       residents;
       The drug is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk;
       The individual importing the drug verifies in writing that it is
       for his or her own use, and provides contact information for the
       doctor providing treatment or shows the product is for the
       continuation of treatment begun in a foreign country; and
       Generally, not more than a 3-month supply of the drug is
       imported.
