Prelief in Canada

Has anyone bought Prelief in Canada?

I've looked around for it but have had no luck. I was told that I can only get it in the USA.

No I didn't

To be honest I haven't even tried the internet. I was going to wait until I took a trip down to the states before I got it and bring it back with me.

You can order it through the internet, but if you're planning a visit to the US soon, it would be much less expensive to get it here. The last I knew it was not available in stores in Canada.

Hi There,

I am one of the Moderators from the Canada IC boards -- www.Canadaic.com

Sorry to say, Prelief is not available in Canada. The reason that it's not available is due to the fact that it is similar to an over the counter medication called "Prelieve" it's for menstral pain. It's too similar to "Prelief" and our government here asked for the pharmaceutical company to change it's name to meet our government regulations and the pharmaceutical company wouldn't comply. The Canadian government views this to be confusing for consumers.

You can order it on line. If you would like to order it on line, I can find out some of the web sites for you or if anyone here knows of some web sites, please feel free to post them for us.

Thanks
Kim P
