HM has many specialists here. I am i a serious situation now and all the doctors are working as a team.

Prescription Medicines

All of my medicines are available here. Often much lower in cost than the US. I take Advair for my asthma. in the US my co-pay is $100 with Walgeens saying my insurance saved me $550.00.Here my over the counter price for the exact same medicine from Smith Glaxo Kline is $63.
