Maybe both? What are should we consider prior to ordering? The first thing that we need to address is why are there more people ordering online? We have narrowed down some of the reasons below and have also outlined some tips for selecting an online Canadian pharmacy or international pharmacy.
One reason why more people are ordering online is privacy. Privacy has become very important when it comes to your personal health and the medications you take. Therefore, it is with no surprise that many people feel embarrassed ordering medications from their local pharmacy or speaking to their pharmacy about health concerns. Online Canadian pharmacies and international pharmacies not only provide you privacy about ordering medications, but also be a resource for information regarding the medications you take. Many reputable Canadian pharmacies and international pharmacies ship medications in the original manufacturer in a manner that maintains patient confidentiality.
Another reason why more people are ordering medications online is convenience. It is convenient ordering medication from a reputable Canadian Pharmacy or an International online pharmacy. Medications are delivered directly to your door and websites are usually available 24/7.
Thirdly, many people have found significant savings ordering from a Canadian online pharmacy and international online pharmacy. There have been reports of savings of 30-70 percent when compared to their local drugstore.
How do I know which Canadian pharmacy or international pharmacy is reputable? A reputable Canadian pharmacy or international pharmacy would require the patient to submit a valid prescription from their own doctor prior to filling the order. Any online pharmacy that does not require a physician’s prescription for medications that normally requires a physician’s prescription from the patient’s own doctor should be avoided. This is one of the signs that this online pharmacy should not be trusted.

1) Make sure that the Canadian Pharmacy is a member of CIPA (Canadian International Pharmacy Association)
