Bringing it into the US
The FDA generally does not allow importing unapproved medicines. Personal importation is only a limited enforcement discretion — typically up to a 90-day supply for a serious condition with no US treatment, and controlled substances are effectively barred. Do not buy from gray-market pharmacies.
