Cost Saving on Medications?
The article below is suggesting patients buy a higher dosage of drug and split the pills to save money.
See

I'm not sure if I'd do that just in case I get the wrong dosage.

Option 1: Visit a US doc, mail the script to an online Canadian pharmacy and get the meds mailed back.
Option 2: Drive to Mexico, choose from the 30 different pharmacies within 30 feet of the border, tell 'em what you want and the on-site doc inside does the Rx, Bob's your uncle!
