Years ago I had a cat with asthma. I had to buy human drugs for her because there were no pet quality available in the US.

I sent her prescription to Canada and the drugs were 50% less than the United States. (The cat had no insurance.)

When folks found out what I had done, I got such comments as "the drugs are not as good as in the US. Are you not afraid of them?"

My response:

1. this is cat

2. there are people all over the world with asthma and they are doing just fine.

3. Most drugs are manufactured outside of the US.

At one point, homeland security got involved. But that is entirely another story.
