How California Residents Can Buy Canada Drugs from Canadian Pharmacies ?
California seniors and patients buying from a Canadian pharmacy can yield of up to 50% savings on average compared to buying those same drugs at the local US pharmacy. Brand name prescription drugs in Canada usually cost less than in the United States, therefore the convenience of Canadian Internet Pharmacies provides so many California customers the opportunity to purchase our discount drugs across the border.
However, it pays to be knowledgeable about purchasing drugs from Canada, including legal considerations for Americans who want to cross the border in person or online. Here are some helpful information for California patients who plan to buy prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies.
If you choose to purchase Canadian prescription drugs by traveling to a Canadian pharmacy on your own, remember:
- While importing Canadian drugs is against U.S. policy, the FDA has said that it will not prosecute individuals who import small (3 months or less) amounts for personal use.
- The drugs you purchase may or may not be approved by the FDA, which is a U.S. regulatory agency. Canadian pharmacies sell drugs approved by Health Canada, which has standards that are similar to those of the FDA, so you can be reasonably assured of safety.
- Work with a health care provider who is familiar with writing prescriptions in Canada
- Determine whether the online pharmacy you are considering requires a valid prescription from your doctor before it will dispense medication. The prescription serves as confirmation that you have consulted a physician or other healthcare provider, that a physical assessment has occurred, and that the proper drug has been prescribed for the diagnosis. Merely filling out a questionnaire and/or furnishing only a credit card number is not sufficient for meeting required standards of medical practice.
