Online Pharmacies?

[Gt1956]

My daughter was unisured & her meds were expensive. At the time there was a lot of talk in the USA about buying meds in Canada & Mexico. I spent some time searching the internet to learn how to buy mail order from Canada. I could drive there but its basically a days drive each way.
I learned that in Canada the pharmacies are regulated by the provinces rather than the national goverment. I found that the province of Bristish Columbia had identified mail order drugs as a way to stimulate their economy. I searched & found that several pharmacies that are located in the Vancouver area.
They do require you to either send or email a copy of your prescription to them. The USA financial system has a ban on using credit cards for meds from Canada. I had to send them a voided check from my account. They then billed my account like it was an electronic check.
Meds are shipped to you thru a third country. I think Mauritius is the most frequent source. Somehow as I remember. Some of the shipments had Swiss postage on them. Never understood why. I got every shipment, but it does take 2-3 weeks as I remember. When doing your research. I suggest ignoring any pharmacy thay aren't in the Vancouver area. Google the towns name to be certain.

Most of the so-called "Canadian Pharmacy" websites. Have nothing to do with Canada.
The ones I saw that are actually based here in Canada are just as expensive as local pharmacies in the US or Canada.
They are trying to fool you into thinking they have the same drugs at a much lower cost.

Sorry, I checked USA prices. At the time the drugs that I bought were not available in the US as generics. Once generics became available here. The pricing picture did change. A lot on some of them. At the time, my daughters anti depression meds were costing me $600 to $650 a month.
I had to mail them papers at a Canadian address. Google search showed their building. I talked to a woman there that had the correct accent. I still have some meds that are individually sealed in the correct manufacturers packet.
I went to great lenghts to insure that I was getting the correct meds for her. The risk of getting the wrong ones or ineffective ones were to severe to not do that reaearch.
I would do it again in half a heartbeat.

[...] I tough to search for a good pharmacy without a name and hard to decipher who’s legit and who’s a scam.

Like I said, we're not allowed to post links and advertise. BUT there are several tools that can help you make an informed decision (e.g. Trustpilot, online reviews). The look of the website and payment methods are also an important sign. Finding a forwarder is also helpful.

PM for more details and links, if you like.

I'm an avid online shopper and never had any problems so far.

Alldaychemist is legit. I've used them for over a decade for generic Viagra, Cialis, eye drops, asthma inhalers, anti-biotics, Iver, etc. All their medications work the same as the stuff from CVS, etc.

I don't trust online pharmacies, just my personal thing. While I have VA to supply most of my meds, they don't offer me the quantity of Cialis I need for my PD treatment (only a partial supply) and they don't have pentoxifylline in the formulary -- that leaves me with the local pharmacies. My Urologist suggested I try **** as the prices are much cheaper. I get 90 Cialis for 19.00 using their coupon through my Carrs pharmacy and the other med is 23.00. Some pharmacies charge more than others with **** -- for me Carrs, Walmart and Costco are cheapest -- the most expensive are CVS (233.00) and Walgreens (41.00). You don't even need to pay membership to get the discount. They do have a gold membership plan for a fee that is supposed to save more money, but I haven't had the need to sign up for it. Hope this helps if you decide to not use an online pharmacy.

Sorry, had to edit because my post sounded like an advertisement (stripped the name of the site) and I don't want to run sideways with the mods. Feel free to contact me to discuss if this is something that interests you. You can also do a google search for med discounts and different sites come up that offer the same thing.

Is there a site that actually lists all of the legit pharmacies??? This would be a good thing to know and perhaps make it a sticky.

When I had to find a Canadian pharmacy for my daughters antidepressants. This was about 10 years ago. There was some kind of consumer group that weeds out the fakes in the Canadian province of British Columbia. When I looked, most of the pharmacies were located in the Vancouver area.
I just went to my saved link for the place that I used several times. They now have a password login.
A little common sense will really help you.
Legit sites require a prescription.
Legit sites should have a toll free phone number. If you call them? If it sounds like a call center in India? Not a good sign.
Legit sites don't have ridiculous low prices.
Since most of the meds are generic now. Using Goodrx as a referral might get you close to the same price in the USA.
The only reason that I could see for getting ED drugs out of Canada now would be quantities. Used to be that my insurance would only give me like 10 Viagra per month. Daily ED meds wasn't an option. Their logic was you didn't need daily meds because you wasn't going to have sex daily. Maybe that has changed. For a while my my dr would write a prescription for daily Cialis & Canada was willing to fill them but it did cost. Even cheaper drugs taken daily could run the price up quickly.
It really wasn't very hard to find a pharmacy if you will resist the too googd to be true places. Don't be greedy.

I think you're fine listing the name of the site as long as it's not a hot link.

Thanks for the info. The site I was referring to is Good RX. I've seen it before while online and thought it was just one of those scam BS sites until I saw information cards about it at my urologists office. I spoke to him about it and he says it saves money. All our pharmacies have them in there system, all you need is their code, which you can get without even signing up or giving any personal info.
