Welcome to online canadian pharmacy - PillCA.com!
The internet hasn't just made the world a much smaller place - it's making
the pharmacy market a much larger one. For many consumers and Canada's
online pharmacy industry, that's a good thing.
Canadian online pharmacies are booming, because there are many benefits they
can offer consumers, especially those in the U.S.
The biggest benefit is the savings. Lower drug prices and lower overhead
costs compared to bricks and mortar pharmacies often result in savings
compared to local pharmacy prices. In addition, you can quickly shop around
for the best price online.
Another factor that helps with cost is that, because of different patent
laws, more generic drugs may be available for drugs only sold as brand name
versions in the U.S.
There are personal benefits as well. Purchasing a prescription online allows
for a little more privacy or anonymity. Customers may feel more comfortable
purchasing or asking questions online (or by fax or phone) regarding certain
medications, rather than talking to someone face-to-face.
Convenience is another personal benefit. Online and mail-order pharmacies
enable you to avoid travel and can save you time, which is important for
people with busy schedules, people who live in rural areas or those who find
it physically difficult to get to the pharmacy.
Convenience and ease of use is an important part for many seniors in the
U.S. who are now turning to the online pharmacy industry for their
prescriptions.
America's new Medicare Drug Plan got off to a rocky start in January and has
left many low-income seniors searching for a better, easier way to get the
drugs they need. Rather than sort through the confusion Medicare Part D and
try to deal with pharmacies that may not quite understand it yet themselves,
seniors have found a much simpler solution with online pharmacies.
The increase in use of Canadian online pharmacies has brought up worries
about the quality and safety of getting prescriptions outside the U.S.
However, Canada's systems for regulating drug products are very similar to
those in the United States. At the federal government level, the
Therapeutics Products Division, which is Canada's counterpart to the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, regulates Canada's drug supply. All drug
products sold in Canada have been approved by the Therapeutic Products
Division. Pharmacies in Canada are regulated by the provinces, similar to
the U.S. in which states regulate pharmacies.
To operate a pharmacy in Canada, the premises must be licensed by the
provincial pharmacy board, managed by a licensed pharmacist, and meet strict
standards for the storage and disbursement of medication.
For those who are still unsure about ordering from an Canadian
pharmacy online, there are certain things on the site you can look for to make sure
it's a reputable site. The Canadian International Pharmacy Association
recommends that consumers:
- Look for Provincial Pharmacy License number on the Web site and call the
corresponding Provincial Regulatory Authority to verify the license.
- Look for a physical address in Canada listed on the site.
- Look for toll free phone numbers.
- Look for the CIPA Certification Seal as an added verification of quality.
- Make sure the pharmacy requires a valid prescription from your doctor.
- Make sure the Canada pharmacy requires your patient history or profile and
a signed Patient Agreement.
Ordering from an Canadian pharmacy online is a safe and convenient way for
people to get the drugs they need. The right prescription at the right price
is only a click away.
