Let's face it: purchasing prescription drugs in the U.S. can be a costly undertaking. By filling your prescriptions online through Canadian pharmacies, your savings can be substantial. Here's why you should consider having your drugs shipped to your home from Canada:

1. The prescriptions you receive from Canada will be exactly the same quality as you would receive from your local pharmacy. Canadian pharmaceutical regulations are among the most rigorous in the world.

2. Your prescription will be reviewed and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.

3. You can realize substantial savings by purchasing from Canada. Many pharmacies include shipping and handling in the price of the prescription. Some offer extra discounts for first time buyers. Total savings will vary according to the drug, dosage, and quantity ordered.

4. Your order will be shipped directly to your home and will usually appear within a few days after your order is placed.

Select only those pharmacies requiring a prescription and medical background information from you. Check The National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) website at www.napra.org to verify the site's provincial license. Many Canadian pharmacies will feature a toll free number for you to call as well. In all, prepare to save substantially by shopping online with our northernly neighbors.
