Under a public-relations siege on several fronts, Congressional Republicans abruptly reverse a Homeland Security policy of seizing prescription drug packages mailed from legitimate Canadian pharmacies. The capitulation coincides with upcoming mid-term elections and amounts to an admission that medications from licensed Canadian pharmacies are indeed safe.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) October 11, 2006 -- The Homeland Security policy responsible for 11 months of seizures and confiscations of Canadian drug packages by U.S. Customs was obviously intended to intimidate American consumers and suspiciously timed to coincide with the enrollment period of the new Medicare Part D drug program for seniors. After doing the bidding for its generous campaign contributors in the pharmaceutical industry, Congressional Republicans have relented to public pressure and reversed the seizure policy just one month before mid-term elections.


A Customs and Border Protection official stated that “we have decided to focus our resources differently,” indicative of a contrite admission by policymakers that prescription drugs from licensed and legitimate online Canadian pharmacies like ADV-Care (www.ADV-Care.com) pose no threat to American patients. The politically motivated decision came just two weeks after a deal was struck by Republican leadership to prohibit seizures of drugs carried back by Americans after visiting Canada.

“Seizing life-saving medications from legitimate Canadian pharmacies is a dangerous practice that obviously does more harm than good. Politicians are putting American patients at unnecessary risk just to protect drug company profits,” says Ramy Attalla, Director of Communications at Adv-Care Pharmacy (www.ADV-Care.com or www.PharmacyOnTheNet.com) “The reversal of this absurd policy is welcome relief but also demonstrates that the seizures were politically motivated and not relevant to actually protecting Americans from unsafe products.”
