"doctors may not be able to legally prescribe it from those places."

We just get a prescription and have it filled wherever's cheapest. It's not up to the doctor to say where it can be filled...

It may be illegal for pharmacies operating in Canada to buy from those manufacturers then, I don't know. I'm just saying there are possible additional risks with buying drugs of unknown provenance. It's not necessarily as simple as "just buy it from China or India".
