| Many people have already switched to online pharmacies and consider them a more convenient way of buying medications. There are two principal reasons explaining the phenomenon. The first is related to financial matters. Due to the economic policy of health care in the USA, consumers often must pay a considerably higher price for pharmaceuticals than customers in other countries. The second reason is privacy. Some people prefer to order their prescription medicines on the Internet, even at a higher price, than to talk to a general practitioner personally about health problems, such as depression, hair loss, or erectile dysfunction. Sales of antidepressant medicines, Viagra, Propecia, and diet supplements, such as Phentermine or Xenical, are now an enormous business. For years, consumers who love close to Canada have driven across the border to buy medications at an affordable price from Canadian pharmacies. Nowadays, customers nationwide can buy from a Canadian pharmacy by mail. Canadian pharmacies typically require an ID and a valid prescription. Unless issued by a physician who is besides accredited to practice medicine in Canada, U.S. Prescriptions will be reissued by a Canadian doctor. As online pharmacies gain a bigger share of the prescription drug market, customers must be aware of the potential problems related to obtaining an online prescription for a drug, or purchasing a drug on the Web. These issues grow even more significant when buying from foreign pharmacies. It is commonly possible to obtain savings by purchasing prescriptions online, even from a major U.S. Pharmacy, when you have a prescription issued to you in person. It is commonly not cheaper to purchase medicines via an online prescription website, which normally marks up the price substantially even when nominally offering a "free" prescription. That mark-up may be comparable to the cost of an in-person medical examination, and may significantly exceed that cost when refills are required. Also, as noted above, price cannot always be the main criterion. If you don't know for certain whether you will be shipped the actual medicine which was prescribed for you, you must put safety ahead of price. |
