I used The Canadian Drugstore (TCDS | Canadian Drugstore) for an expensive TEVA drug when I hit the 'donut hole' last year. All went well and I paid 40% less - but now that a new year has started and I'm out of the DH, my cost is less than I paid thru TCDS.
I was given the opportunity to buy products made in India or Turkey. I chose the latter and it shipped from a pharmacy in Turkey. It performed just as well as the TEVA product made in Israel.

Cautions and considerations:
  • Your insurance will likely not cover meds bought from one of these 'Canadian' outfits.
  • Delivery for mine was quoted to be 3 weeks and that is about how long it took.
  • I got the impression I was dealing with a broker, rather than an actual mail-order pharmacy - like OptumRX in the US.

I would do it again.
