Well, true you can buy medicine from canadian pharmacies thru internet, BUT there are few medicines at you cannot LEGALLY. For example Viagra, cialis. These meds are patented products and if you get them shipped from any other country, you can get in trouble. I have seen many people who used to order from canadian pharmacy get warning from custom department. Either be very careful and do your research when you are buying from any overseas pharamcy, or search for some US based websites which offer meds at reasonable price.

Answer

Canada regulates drug prices as part of its national health care system, while the market dictates pricing in the United States. For this reason, many popular medications can be bought in Canada at less than half the U.S. price. There are several Web sites that allow you to purchase medications from Canada at this discounted rate. And buying over the Internet is much easier than making the trip to Canada for the purchase.

Be aware that the U.S. does employ �scare tactics� by telling you how they discourage Canadian drug sales because they can�t vouch for the safety of Canadian medications. However, the pharmacies in Canada are just like the ones in America so don�t buy into the scare campaigns of the U.S. pharmaceutical companies.

By doing a simple online search, you can easily find several online Canadian pharmacies to fill your prescriptions. All of them offer the same name brand medications that you can buy here in the U.S. only through the Canadian market you will realize a savings of up to 50 percent and you can buy your medications in bulk.

Most Canadian pharmacies do require a valid prescription depending on the medication. However, some medications that require a prescription in the U.S. are available without one in Canada. For those medications that do require a prescription, you can either mail or fax your prescription to the pharmacy with which you are doing business. Once they receive your prescription, you can order and place your refills over the Internet, by fax, or by calling their customer service representatives. After they receive your paperwork, your prescriptions will usually be delivered to you in about a week.

It is very simple and will save you a lot of money! Hopefully, if enough consumers keep buying their medications in Canada, it will eventually bring about policy changes in the U.S.
