I have an aunt who lives in Algeria and has a prescription for a medication for post chemotherapy vomiting (Emend). Can we get this medication here with her prescription from Algeria?

This medication is in short supply over there. Is there any way to get it here by showing the prescription?
Thank you.

Good evening sir,
No, in my opinion she will have to get a prescription from a doctor here (licensed in Canada) in order for you to be able to get this drug.
Good news though, this drug is available in Canada and frequently prescribed in chemotherapy protocols initiated in Quebec. So it shouldn't be too difficult to convince a doctor to re-prescribe (once you get an appointment, which I think is the real challenge here).
Sorry I can't be of any help to you there.
Good evening,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
