I'm hearing that posters in the USA are having their order seized by customs, particularly orders coming from United Pharmacies in the South Pacific.

Please report any seizures here (USA ONLY) so we can track what is happening. Regardless of what online pharmacy you ordered from.

Thanks

What if you have a prescripton to the drug such as Finpecia in the US? and you can show them the prescripton? Will they let you have the medicine or will they still confiscate it? Jeffsss let us know things went with your order.

Any prescription drug entering into the US will be confiscated by customs if it gets detected. Best bet is to find a source of finasteride in the US because its very difficult to get a search warrant to open US mail. Much harder than what customs needs to open a package.

Thanks Thinning. Now to find someone in the US that sells at the discount prices we get from the foregion places. Here's some information I found on drug importing into the USA http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/alert ... _drugs.xml
http://help.customs.gov/cgi-bin/customs ... 1043364938

Importation of Violative Drugs
The FDA has developed guidance entitled “Coverage of Personal Importationsâ€￾

which sets forth the FDA enforcement priorities with respect to the personal
importation of unapproved new drugs by individuals for their personal use. Under
this guidance, as an exercise of enforcement discretion, FDA may allow an
individual entering the United States to import a three month supply of an

unapproved drug if all of the following conditions are met:

1. The intended use of the drug is for a serious condition for which effective
treatment may not be available domestically;

2. The drug will not be distributed commercially by the importer;
3. The product is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk;
4. The individual seeking to import the product affirms in writing that the drug

is for the patient’s own use and provides the name and address of the doctor
licensed in the United States responsible for his or her treatment with the
product, or provides evidence that the product is for the continuation of a
treatment begun in a foreign country.


The FDA is responsible for pharmaceutical admissibility determinations. If you have
any questions as to whether a specific pharmaceutical may be imported into the
United States, please contact the FDA, Division of Import Operations and Policy, at

301.443.6553.

Hopefully that should take care of customs seizing orders outside the USA.

i had fincar seized over a year ago after ordering from united pharmacies. us customs sent me a letter which basically said that i am not in any trouble but that my shipment had been seized. the next day i called united pharmacies and they shipped me another batch. this time it came through with no problems.

I'm not sure about that Thinning. I had a spironolactone. package delivered that had a FDA label pasted on it. There was a box on the label that was checked. That checked box stated something like "delivery approved".

My guess is Customs sequesters the package (if discovered in the first place) then, a FDA official determines whether or not the package can be delivered. I wonder if finasteride. has been put on the "prohibition" list by the FDA?

I've also read that sometimes the FDA has issues with the company sending the drug(s).

Oh, I forgot to mention, the patent for finasteride. expires in June of this year. You should be able to get the stuff cheap after that? Just get an rx from a local doctor and you'll be "in like Flint" if you know what I mean.

If you guys have problems with this practice, email your congressmen and senators and let them know your concerns. This is a very sensitive political issue because so many senior citizens want to get rx medications cheaper than they pay here in the USA. And senior citizens VOTE. LOL!

You know, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Especially with politicians who want to stay in office. (Afterall, all you guys want is cheaper drugs and they aren't controlled substances for Godsakes.)

Does anybody know any online site located in USA that sells finasteride? Besides Drugstore.com...

All the site I have found are located in south pacific.

just an update..

ordered dutasteride on the 8th... still havent gotten it.

same boat - they shipped my finasteride out on the 9th - allowing 7 - 14 days would get it to me tomorrow at the earliest. have my fingers crossed.

you'd think the damn customs agents would have better things to do.

I recently ordered some Nizoral from inhousepharmacy. Took 13 days but it got here ok

I'm sure it'll be a hit or miss situation. The ptb couldn't possibly open, inspect, and seize every pkg sent out from them.

Inhouse should probably change their packaging to lose the words on-line pharmacy.

In a previous post it mentions a 3 month supply. I wonder if the ones getting seized are more than that. I have never ordered more than 3 months and have never gotton any seized.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to order more than a 3month supply at any one time. Still - this is getting a little shakey.
