Would you take medicine from a diff country? from someone u barely kno?

Just wondering. I havent been feeling that fantastic the past couple of days and a friend chose to bring me some medicine. But, I had know clue what it really was since it was written in Asia (everywhere he is originally from). I told one of my roomates and she seemed sketched out like I shouldnt take it. Im not sure if that was since of how i just had to go on someone’s, who i barely know, word what it is or since its from outside U.S. Would u take the medicine if u were me.

Is it legal for US Immigrant to send in Medicines from another country?

Im a US Settler who needs medicines to be sent from my country of origin. The medicine or its generic are not available here in the US and we didnt find any substitute for it.. The only solution is to request my friend from my country of origin to buy my medicines and send it to me thru courier.. Ofcourse a prescription from my before Doctor of that country will also be included in the package..

Is it ok or not?

Can I bring medicine into the country from Canada?

My deductible keeps going up. I have to take a lot of meds everyday and they have gotten very expensive. Someone said the U.S. regime will not allow for seniors to bring in meds from Canada. Is this right?
