Four Things You Need to Do Before October 22

Mahshid Moghei, PhD Medically reviewed by Mahshid M. on

Prescription Access Under Threat

Beginning October 22, 2026, a new U.S. border policy may disrupt personal prescription-medication parcels sent by pharmacies and government-approved dispensaries outside the United States.

Order immediately - do not wait

If you expect to need medication at any time during the next year, now is the time to order. Contact your prescription referral service immediately to confirm available stock and processing time. Orders must be processed, shipped, and reach the U.S. border before October 22.

1. Order and stock up now

If you will need medication at any time during the next year, contact your prescription referral service and place your order immediately. Waiting may mean your order cannot be processed, shipped, or delivered before October 22.

2. Join CPPI & contact your Senators and Representatives - today!

Millions of Americans need your voice. The Campaign for Personal Prescription Importation (CPPI) is organizing patients to contact lawmakers and federal decision-makers. Membership is free. Join today at personalimportation.org/join. Write, call, and/or email your Senators and Congressional Representative and tell them this policy could affect your access to safe, affordable medication. Ask them to intervene before October 22. With midterm elections approaching, your elected officials need to hear from you now - your voice matters more than ever!

Send your letter through CPPI

3. Stay subscribed to our updates

Make sure we have your correct email address and that you receive our newsletters and urgent customer alerts. Contact us now if you are unsure.

4. Spread the word

Share this notice with friends, family, and anyone you know who orders prescription medications from an international pharmacy. The more people who speak up, the better our chances of stopping this.

Order deadlines will vary

Each pharmacy will set its own final order date based on inventory, processing capacity, dispensing location, and shipping time. Ask your pharmacy today. An order placed too late may not be accepted or may not reach the U.S. border before October 22.

Protect continuity of treatment

Order only quantities permitted by your prescription and the dispensing pharmacy. If a possible interruption could affect your health, contact your prescriber or healthcare professional before your current supply becomes critically low. Do not change your dose, stop treatment, or substitute a medication without professional guidance.

Return to the Patient Action Hub, read why the deadline may threaten deliveries, and learn why the new process could be difficult for individual orders.

Editorial note

Order timing and delivery cannot be guaranteed. Always remain within prescription, dispensing, refill-timing, and personal-use limits.
