Q: Why do I want to use a a Licensed Canadian Pharmacy?
A: A U.S. Canadian drug price comparison will show that Canadian prescription drug pricing is anywhere from 40% to 80% cheaper than U.S.!
Q: Why are medicines cheaper in Canada? Is the quality the same?
A: There are several reasons. The Canadian government limits the cost of prescription medication, consumer advertising of drugs is not allowed in Canada, retail mark-ups on drug prices are regulated, and the US dollar exchange rate is very favorable. The quality of medication in Canada is highly regulated. Many of the name-brand medications in Canada are manufactured in the same facility as brand name medication sold in the United States. Our Canadian pharmacy generic meds from Canada are also of very high quality, and, due to different patent laws, are usually available earlier than in the United States. Note that when possible a generic will be substituted to insure that you receive the most savings. Note that branded versions of prescriptions filled on line for US citizens are available at a significant discount as well.
