Canadian Pharmacies

Canadian Pharmacies are becoming more and more popular today, due in part to tough economic times. Canadian pharmacies sell the same prescription medications that you get at your local pharmacy but Canadian pharmacies offer a savings of up to 70%. There are many Canadian Pharmacies listed on the internet so be sure to do your homework before ordering.

Before placing an order for your prescription drugs make sure to check out several Canadian pharmacies to find the best price for the medications that you need. Read their website thoroughly. The website should list an address for the pharmacy. They should also provide a toll-free phone number and have pharmacists on staff to talk to about your order if necessary. Be sure to look for the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) seal. This is an organization that only represents legitimate Canadian pharmacies. Another certification to look for on the website besides the CIPA seal is the PharmacyChecker seal. Pharmacy Checker is an independant agency that also verifies that the pharmacy is legitimate. All Canadian pharmacies have different prices so be sure to look at several Canadian pharmacies. You may also wish to take the price of shipping and handling into account. It is best to try and order from one Canadian pharmacy in order to save on these costs. Again, do your homework as some Canadian pharmacies do offer free shipping on certain orders.

Get your doctor to write your prescriptions for a 3 months supply plus refills. Three months worth is the quantity that the FDA legally allows individuals to import into the U.S. for personal use. This may give you a quantity discount at some Canadian pharmacies and it is definitely beneficial in saving you on shipping and handling charges.

Make sure that any Canadian Pharmacies you consider doing business with require you to give a prescription from your doctor. Any Canadian Pharmacy that will fill orders without a prescription is not a legal pharmacy.

When you place your order, try to find out the pharmacy's shipping methods and when exactly they will be shipped. This way you can keep an eye out for them and if they do not come in a reasonable time have them tracked.

When your prescriptions do arrive at your door, take a moment to go through your package and verify that you have recieved everything. If you have any issues with your order be sure to phone the pharmacy and let them know. Most Canadian pharmacies are easy to deal with and will gladly help you with any concern you may have.
