Ordering From Online Pharmacies - Where Do the Medications Come From?

When ordering from a Canadian online pharmacy the medication may not always be manufactured in Canada. This may seem to be a bit deceiving to a consumer, but it all certainty online Canadian pharmacies are not only safe and reliable but also provide a wide variety of cost efficient medications that may not yet be available in the United States (e.g. generics).

Most of the leading drug manufactures are producing their medications over-seas, mainly in India. Big brand names have set up manufacturing plants overseas to employ more cost efficient labour to lower production costs. Even medications that are bought in the United States for inflated prices are more than likely manufactured overseas, only your pharmacist is not obligated to inform you where the medications you are getting is made. When ordering from an online pharmacy you will be fully informed of not only where your medication is manufactured but also, what country that medication will be shipped from.

Other countries are able to produce generic medications much sooner than the United States and sometimes even Canada, which in turn can be sold abroad to provide us with a much more cost efficient way to stay on necessary medications.

In regards to safety and potency of the medications, the standards are the exact same if not more strict. The facilities where the medications are made are inspected on a regular basis. The medications being produced are tested more rigorously than medications manufactured in the United States.

In conclusion, the reason why medications ordered from a Canadian online pharmacy may not always be manufactured in Canada is because these online pharmacies are trying to provide you, the consumer with the lowest possible prices without inflation. When in doubt, ask the representative questions about the country of origin, or do your own research to ease your mind.
