Welcome Janca.

If you look at the top of this page you will find a "Search" tab. Enter Canada there and you will find a number of posts about it. Here's one to start with.

Then hopefully one of our Canadian members will come along and give you some first hand information.

I have imported Sof/Dac into Canada as a member of the MonkMed trial. It was not seamless but I did learn a lot which I passed on to the Tim and the MonkMed team. I wrote a procedure for Canada which they have. It is legal to import the drugs into Canada and with the procedure should go well. If anyone PM's me I will forward that on to you.

I found MonkMed and FixHepC to be very supportive and professional. I recommend that if you are considering this method of obtaining meds for your HepC that you go for it.

I received my end of treatment test results yesterday for the Sof/Dac Genotype 2 treatment I was on. The viral load is now negative and the ALT AST liver function tests are on the low side of average normal. Yay
