A Canada pharmacy can save you a lot of money but you should know the proper way to order from them

A Canada pharmacy can sell drugs cheaper because most of the research is done in the US. Pharmaceuticals like Pfizer and Merck spend a lot of money developing new medicines and they must charge the customers for that research. Canada can sell generics much less when they reverse engineer the drug or buy a license to the formula.

This is not bad really although there are scores of articles written on the ethics. Pharmacies in Canada can still sell their drugs to US customers and customs will usually look the other way as long as the supply is for a three month personal usage or less.

Canadians benefit as well because coupled with their somewhat Marxist medical care system they can buy drugs cheaper than in the US. Canadian drugs are subject to the same strict quality control as the states so you can be assured that you will receive top quality drugs when you order from a pharmacy in Canada.

Not all drugs are cheaper in Canada and they will not ship any narcotics or habit producing drugs. Also they will not ship any controlled substances across the border.

Some of the names of the drugs are different but they contain the same active ingredients. Many pharmaceuticals in Canada will change the name when they make the generic version to adhere to patient requirements. Technically they are the same drug but they just have a different name.

Some online pharmacies may sell you drugs without a prescription. Each has their own policy so you should read their web site carefully. Most will want you to submit a prescription signed by your doctor and if you are under 18 years old you may also be required to have a signed document from your parents or legal guardian.
