Expect price variations. Canadian pharmacies often offer lower prices than their US counterparts, but individual drug costs fluctuate based on brand, generic availability, and quantity purchased. Check multiple pharmacies for the best deal.
Generic drugs are usually cheaper. If a generic version of your prescription is available, it will likely be significantly less expensive than the brand-name alternative. Ask your pharmacist about generic options.
Availability Differences
Not all drugs are available in Canada. Some medications may be unavailable or require a special import permit. Confirm availability *before* ordering. Contact the pharmacy directly to verify.
Shipping times vary. Delivery speed depends on location and the pharmacy’s shipping methods. Factor shipping time into your ordering decision. Express shipping is usually an option, but at an added cost.
Important Considerations
Always verify the pharmacy’s legitimacy. Look for licensing information and customer reviews to ensure you’re using a reputable source. Choose a pharmacy with a clear return policy.
Understand customs regulations. Be aware of any potential import restrictions or fees associated with ordering medications from Canada. Contact your country’s customs agency for details.
