Consumers wanting to purchase prescription drugs from Canada online are well advised to do their homework first. While there are many legitimate Canadian online pharmacies operating over the internet, there are also a number of fraudulent operators posing as online pharmacies. These fake pharmacies may charge your credit card without filling your order; provide you with ineffective, wrongly labeled or incorrect medication; and/or sell your personal information to other fraudulent businesses. Signs of an illegitimate or fake online pharmacy that should cause you concern are:
1) The pharmacy offers you prescription medication without a prescription, such as by simply filling out an online questionnaire.
2) The online pharmacy offers to sell you narcotics or other controlled substances.
3) The online pharmacy’s website does not provide full contact information such as phone and fax numbers and a physical address for a brick and mortar drug store.
4) The online pharmacy does not have a licensed pharmacist on staff to answer questions about medications.
5) The online pharmacy offers only a limited number of “lifestyle drugs” to treat conditions such as impotence, obesity, acne or hair loss. A genuine Canadian online pharmacy will offer a full range of prescription and over-the-counter products.
6) The online pharmacy’s website has disclaimers, or asks you to waive your rights as a consumer.
7) The online pharmacy’s website does not use up-to-date encryption technology such as McAfee Secure and GeoTrust to secure your personal and financial information.
On the contrary, a legitimate Canadian online pharmacy will ask you for your current prescription, not offer to sell you controlled substances, have their address and phone number displayed on their website, carry a full range of prescription and OTC products, offer a satisfaction guarantee, display verification seals and use secure technology to protect your confidential information.
Once you ensure the Canadian online pharmacy meets the above criteria, you can order your prescription medications from Canada with confidence, and save a great deal of money in the process. Canadian drugs are often cheaper than in other countries because the government regulates prices and allow manufacturers to produce cheaper (but identical) generic versions sooner, and does not allow drug companies to conduct expensive direct to consumer advertising. It is not uncommon for a prescription purchased through a Canadian online pharmacy to be 50% cheaper than one purchased in the US, and not unheard of for it to be up to 90% cheaper.
