3 Things The Government Doesn’t Want You To Know About Ordering From Foreign Pharmacies
by Greg Edwards
It’s no secret that ordering from foreign online pharmacies costs less than filling your prescription here in the states. But isn’t ordering your prescriptions online, illegal or shady? That’s what the government wants you to think. In fact, ordering your medications from places like Canada or Europe is just as safe as ordering from American pharmacies, but cost significantly less.
1. Why are the prices for prescriptions so much cheaper in Canada? I have always wondered why is it that America is thought of as one of the most prosperous countries in the world, yet our senior citizens are forced to load up on busses to go across the border to Canada or Mexico to fill their prescriptions. The answer is simple, price control. America is the only modern country that does not have price controls in place for the pharmaceutical companies to follow. A price control is a limit created by averaging the sale price of a similar product and setting a maximum price that the drug company can charge for a new drug. The American government states that price controls stifle creativity, and as a result, less innovative drugs are produced. However countries such as Canada carry a full stock of the same drugs that we produce over here and they sell if for half the cost.
2. The FDA has stated the reason they don’t endorse medication from foreign sources is because it is unsafe and inspected under less rigorous requirements than medication here in the United States. In the many years that our retirees have been flocking across the border to get their prescription drugs, there has never been a case in Canada or the United States of an American being hurt or dying from sub standard medication distributed from a Canadian pharmacy. It is also widely known and accepted that Canada operates under the same guidelines as here in the United States.
3. Despite the governments “deep concern” for so many years about the safety of importing drugs from Canada and other foreign pharmacies, the Senate voted 62 to 28 to allow American pharmacies to sell drugs from Canada and Europe. It turns out that the drugs sold overseas and in Canada do not have sub standard safety requirements, but that the American drug companies pay well to keep a monopolistic stranglehold on the American prescription drug market. In other words, the government is not so concerned about your safety, as they are about money.
Ordering prescription medication online from foreign sources overseas or in Canada has become the premier way of filling prescriptions at a discount price. Foreign online pharmacies offer discount prices on prescription drugs plus, the convenience of never having to leave the comfort of your own home. When ordering online, you should use a pharmacy resource website to help you locate the safest and most cost effective pharmacies. Noprescriptioneeded.com is a great website that will provide a list of the cheapest pharmacies that are rated and reviewed on their quality and customer satisfaction.
