What the FDA and drug companies don't want you to know is, many of the medications we consume in the U.S. have been researched, developed, and manufactured in other countires for quite some time. USA Today Oct. 19, 2004. The FDA is well aware of the safety of these medications since they are required to inspect these plants every two years.

Yet, the safety myth lives on, perpetuated by an industry and government agency supposedly with our best interests in mind. Could it be that their actual intent is to protect profits in the "crown jewel" of all prescription drug markets?
The bottom line for any U.S. citizen who wishes to buy cheaper drugs from other countries is: only buy from a licensed pharmacy. Licensed pharmacies are regulated by boards of pharmacy and will not jeopardize their livelyhoods by selling illegitimate products. All of our partner pharmacies, wholesalers, and manufacturers are credentialed and approved by our managing pharmacists.
We offer the following guidelines when ordering your presription drugs from a Canadian or any pharmacy:
- Never order from a pharmacy that does not require a prescription.
- Verify the pharmacy's license.
- Mail-order pharmacies should have pharmacists available during business hours for consultation.
- Whenever possible your prescription drugs should be shipped in the original, sealed, manufacturer's container.
- The pharmacy should have a representative for you to talk to not just an e-mail address.
- Request delivery insurance or guaranteed delivery for your order.
Take responsibility and know who you are dealing with. To do otherwise, will only put your health at risk!
