The high cost of medications is causing many U.S. citizens to run for the Canadian border - or at least to their computers.
It's no longer a secret that many medications cost less in Canada. Thousands of people have traveled miles to cross the Canadian border to purchase brand-name drugs that cost 30 percent to 70 percent less than their U.S. counterparts. And now, with the advent of Medsforless.com, you can order prescription drugs from Canada from your home.
Medsforless.com, based in British Columbia, is one of the first Canadian pharmacies to service American patients. This fully licensed pharmacy is affiliated with the most reputable suppliers in Canada and provides the same medications offered in the United States.
Ordering medications from the site is simple if you have a valid U.S. prescription. The site offers a wide selection of prescription drugs that are easy to order and refill, as well as a large selection of over-the-counter medications, vitamins and health products. Consumers can buy a three-month supply of medication at a time.
You might wonder why brand-name drugs cost significantly less in Canada even though they are manufactured exactly the same as their U.S. counterparts.
The Canadian government strictly controls the prices of drugs by limiting how much a pharmaceutical manufacturer can charge for brand-name drugs. For instance, the breast cancer medication tamoxifen, which is the generic version of Nolvadex, could cost about $250 for a three-month prescription in the United States. In Canada, however, this same medicine would cost about $29.
Because of Canadian government control, medicine prices in the country have risen less than 1 percent a year since 1988. In the United States, they have increased 5.1 percent per year.
Medsforless.com, which offers competitive prices, no hidden fees and fully insured shipments, operates under the philosophy that an individual's health needs should never be negatively affected by a medicine's price tag.
