Rogaine: Ship to US friend, then Canada?

[ryan24]

Hi,

 

I did a quick search and found a thread that mentions Canada's tight customs border control. I understand 5% minoxidil is a prescription drug in Canada, and that the companies can't ship here.

 

I'm wondering, if you're able to advise, what are the consequences if hypothetically someone was to have a US friend order/buy it, and then ship it to another friend in Canada? If that US friend is on a work visa? Would customs simply reject the shipment or are there other legal matters involved?

 

Thanks
