The importation of drugs from neighboring countries like Canada may not only affect the health of the American citizens, but also the whole American. According to one's budget, it is a wise idea of cutting off the extra expenses, and buying the good quality products and services at a cheaper price if possible. But when it comes to health issue, one has to be really careful about health treatment and medications. A lot of steps have been taken by many well known states by importing medications of almost the same quality from a country like Canada; it is cheaper to import and use them, rather than buying the ones made in the United States. No doubt that doing this saves a lot of money, but on the other hand, it may give rise to other problematic issues, which are must to be taken in attention to by the authorities.
             The first thing that drives our attention into is the issue about the effectiveness of the imported drugs from Canada. What if the drugs imported from a foreign country suite to that particular type of environment where it has been imported from? For example, some drugs may work better on people living in colder environment like Canadians do, but not as compared to ones living in the US. This may happen, because drugs made in Canada are made according to people living in that particular atmosphere. Hence, there is no point of using such drugs that may not affect, or have an adverse affect.
             The second thing that will attract a health conscious person's attention into is the quality of the imported Canadian drugs. What if some drugs imported from Canada are bogus? The United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has declared that some of the Canadian drugs are being imported to their homeland from other nations like China and India, where the market sells drugs that are about 20-60% nonfunctional. Therefore, there is a high risk of being cheated in terms of the quality of the drug.
