Canadian Drugs
Many who find the costs of prescription medications too high in the United States turn to Canadian drugs for a cheap alternative. Depending on the medication, people can save between twenty and sixty percent on their prescription drugs – not a number to be laughed at by any means.
US citizens, particularly senior citizens, come to Canada by the busload to purchase drugs in person, but they can also take advantage of internet pharmacies that will ship medications from north of the border.
But is it really cheaper? Some claim that purchasing US generic drugs is the same price or even cheaper as buying Canadian drugs. To find the best deal, you will have to do your research. Though there are programs in place and legislation being proposed to cut down on the purchasing of Canadian drugs, people will still go for the best deal they can get. Why would anyone want to willingly pay more for their medication? Customers are going to purchase their prescriptions drugs where they save the most money.
If you venture into the world of online pharmacies in search of Canadian drugs, be sure that you go with a company that is properly licensed. Though some of the concern over online pharmacies may just be hype to discourage the purchase of Canadian drugs, you want to make sure you do your research and purchase your medications through a company that has a good reputation. As with all internet ventures, there are some people looking to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals and you don’t want to find yourself the victim of pharmaceutical fraud. You might look for an internet pharmacy that has been endorsed by your state.
The debate over Canadian drugs will probably not settle down anytime soon, especially with so many dollars at stake. As a smart consumer, you need to put in the research to find the best and the safest deal for you.
