12/16/2013 Consumers can buy from online pharmacies and save 87 percent.

While the federal health care law requires everyone to have health insurance or be fined, many health insurance policies do not provide prescription drug coverage. Fortunately, the Internet enables millions of U.S. consumers to shop for reduced prices on their prescription drugs from fully licensed online pharmacies located in the United States, Canada and elsewhere and save as much as 90 percent on many popular name-brand prescription drugs.

The site eDrugSearch.com enables consumers to peruse the drug prices of federally licensed pharmacies and determine which ones have the best deals. Almost always, Canadian pharmacies have prescription drugs available for a lot less than comparable U.S. pharmacies charge for the same prescription.

Many U.S. consumers have used pharmacies in Canada to purchase their prescription drugs and save a lot of money when compared to the cost for the same prescription in the United States. The reason prices are much less in Canada is due to the nation’s strict price controls that keep the costs low for important prescription drugs, unlike the United States where major pharmaceutical companies charge much more for their name brand prescription drugs.

Using eDrugSearch.com can help located the best prices on prescription drugs for U.S. consumers. For example, a 30-tablet package of Abilify costs nearly $712 at a U.S. pharmacy but $200 at a Canadian pharmacy. A 90-day supply costs nearly $2,600 at domestic pharmacies but only about $330 at international pharmacies. The cost savings extends to other name brand prescription drugs, and eDrugSearch.com can help people find the most affordable pharmacies in the United, State, Canada and elsewhere.

The U.S. Drug Marketing Act of 1987 says only drug manufacturers can import large quantities of their products into the United States. But officials with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies allow citizens to bring up to 90-day supplies of prescription drugs for personal use from sources in Canada, Mexico and elsewhere.

That means U.S. consumers can purchase up to a 90-day supply of the prescription drugs they need from Canadian sources and have them mailed to U.S. addresses without interference. Ordering more than a 90-day supply is not allowed, but ordering and obtaining refills every 90 days is very simple and will result in a great deal of savings.

On average, U.S. consumers can save 87 percent on their prescription drugs when they do Canadian pharmacy reviews to find the very best prices. And using eDrugSearch.com helps them compare prescription prices online to save a great deal of money.
