Benefits of buying from a Canadian pharmacy

Why do so many consumers buy medicines from Canadian pharmacies? There was a time when people shrank from buying medicines online. They would buy other products online, but not medicines. However, these days, more and more people buy medicines from reputed online pharmacies. Interestingly, a large majority of people from the US shop for medicines online and from Canadian pharmacies.

Here are some of the benefits of buying prescription medicines from a reputed online Canadian pharmacy.

- A large majority of prescription medicines cost less in Canada when compared to prices in the US. In some cases, the price difference is quite substantial. For instance, a 30 day supply of Lipitor costs $86 in the US, while in Canada, it costs only $51.

There are several reasons for the above price difference. For one thing, the Canadian government does not allow drug companies to charge more than a particular amount. Therefore, wholesale prices of medicine are kept low. Canada's patented Medicines Prices Review Board determines, assesses and evaluates the prices from time to time. Since pharmacies procure medicines at low costs, they sell at low costs too. Also, the liability costs on pharmaceutical companies in Canada are much lower than the cost in the US. These factors ensure that the prices of medicines in Canada are kept low.

- Another reason for the low costs and excellent customer service offered by Canadian pharmacies is the sheer number of online Canadian pharmacies competing for their share of business. When so many companies compete with each other, consumers are the ultimate beneficiaries.

- Canadian pharmacies allow patients to order prescription drugs quickly. All they have to do is fill the form and send in the order.

- Reputed Canadian pharmacies also have in-house pharmacists who are available for assistance in case patients need help. Therefore, patients feel secure buying from such a pharmacy.

- The online shopping system is secure. In case of refill orders, many pharmacies allow customers to simply sign in and order the refill. They do not have to submit their prescription once again.

- Customers may buy medicines with total confidence as they can procure the same quality of medicines as from the local pharmacy. Licensed pharmacies buy directly from manufacturers of medicines.

- In most Canadian pharmacies, transactions are made in US dollars. This helps them avoid high conversion rates and keeps the prices of medicines competitive.

- Online Canadian pharmacies have quick delivery policies and are known for the high quality of their customer service.

The above are some of the benefits of buying medicines from a licensed Canadian pharmacy.
