I have a friend in a similar situation. he is from the US so meds are stupid expensive but insurance pays for them. Ultimately he can buy locally not exactly the same thing and pays. Or he ships from US. When he ships he is clever and packages them with clothes and what not. I don't recommend this it can be trouble for you.
