Canadian Medications
Over the last while, FDA representatives have been quoted as
saying that any Americans shopping for Medications outside of
the United States, should do it through Canada as drug
regulations and testing systems are similar to the US.
Most of the drugs that are shipped to you are produced by the
same manufacturers at the same facilities as the drugs that
you are currently
purchasing right now.
The sale of medications is strictly regulated by the Canadian
government.
Medications are regulated by the FDA in the US and by Health
Canada in
Canada. These regulatory bodies ensure that strict
guidelines are followed
before a medication can be released
into the market.
Canada has University trained pharmacists that must pass
stringent provincial
and federal exams prior to becoming
licensed pharmacists.
Generic Drugs
Generic drugs are cost affordable alternatives to brand name
medications. A generic drug is one that contains the same
pharmaceutical agent as the brand name drug. Generics can be
produced once the patent of a brand name drug expires. Generic
companies are able to manufacture the same chemical
ingredients that are found in brand name drugs at
substantially reduced costs.
In Canada all generic products
must meet stringent testing to ensure that these drugs work as
effectively as the brand name versions. This testing occurs
prior
to any generic medication being allowed into the market.
In fact, the generic versions of some drugs are manufactured
by the same companies and at the same locations as the brand
name versions.
Make sure you ask your doctor about the availability of
generic drugs. After all,
it's your money - why not use it
wisely!
Canadian Pharmacies
Canadian pharmacies are known for offering some of the highest
standards for quality and safety around the world. They are
staffed by fully qualified pharmacists, highly trained
technicians and regulated by the government of Canada.
Canadian pharmacies have always played a vital role in
providing affordable healthcare to all Canadians. Now, they
are helping our neighbors down south obtain high quality
prescription drugs at a fraction of the cost.
There are over 7000 pharmacies across Canada, many of which
sell prescription medications to American citizens.
Canadian Pharmacists
In Canada, there are over 26,300 licensed pharmacists working
in pharmacies
and hospitals across the country. In order to
become a licensed pharmacist in Canada, an individual must be
University trained and pass provincial and

guidelines set out by pharmacy governing councils. Pharmacists
in Canada
are dedicated professionals that are concerned about
