Online Canadian Mail-Order Pharmacies Continue to Export Discount Canadian Drugs Without Delay, Helping Thousands of Americans Daily

Canadian mail-order pharmacies continue to help thousands of Americans, especially senior citizens and the uninsured, on a daily basis. Access to affordable Canadian prescription drugs is helping to improve quality of life while remaining an easy, cost-effective alternative to expensive local prescription drugs, in spite of Food and Drug Administration claims to the contrary.

(PRWEB) February 22, 2005 -- In recent months there has been increasing media attention regarding the purchase of prescription drugs from online Canadian mail-order pharmacies from the FDA and the prescription drug companies, claiming seizures of unapproved drugs and shipping delays.

The reality is that very little has changed in the day-to-day prescription drug commerce between Canada and the United States, except a higher level of public relations which make border delays and each FDA inspection seem like a crisis in the cross-border pharmaceuticals industry. The high quality and efficient delivery of prescription drugs from Canadian mail-order pharmacies has not changed.

In fact, there have always been standard FDA stoppages and inspections. It is estimated that approximately one in every thousand packages is inspected. In the past, challenges to drug quality have been put forth as a reason for increasing inspections but the lack of problematic factual evidence has kept the Canadian-based prescription drug sales in motion.

These issues have been around for a long time. They are nothing new and it is important that the American public understand that the Canadian online prescription drug industry continues to ship original packaged drugs, as always. Our commitment to quality will not waiver," said Mark Lazar, CEO of LePharmacy.com (http://www.lepharmacy.com), a leading Canadian mail-order pharmacy.

Although ordering prescription drugs from Canada is a safe practice, there are many parties with their own agendas who are look to stop this behavior. The FDA, drug manufacturers, some politicians and the pharmacy lobby are trying to prevent Americans from buying Canadian drugs. Drug companies see this trend as a loss in revenue and have been lobbying the Bush administration to stop cross-border drug sales.

Pharmaceutical companies sell identical drugs to both the Canadian and American markets, but with lower prices in Canada. The prescription medications that are available in Canada are typically much cheaper than their American counterparts.

Ordering prescription medications from an online Canadian catalog is exactly like getting it mailed to your home from an American pharmacy. The difference is that Canadian mail order pharmacies sell identical products at tremendous discounts," says Lazar.

If the United States bars the importation of prescription drugs from Canada, the next most likely alternative would be to purchase from Europe. However, this would be a much more costly option and would likely take longer than the week or say it takes with Canadian-based Internet pharmacies. The reality is that the current cross-border shopping for drugs trend represents the most realistic, cost-effective, and safe alternative, especially for American senior citizens and the uninsured.
