Canadian Pharmacy Inundated with American Patients

• 

It was really disheartening to see so many patients without adequate insurance pay thousands of dollars out of their pockets for medications they could have been getting for so much less from a Canadian pharmacy website like NorthWestPharmacy.com.

Langley, British Columbia (PRWEB) November 9, 2010

The flow of Americans visiting a Canada pharmacy website has climbed steadily since the recession began in the USA. NorthWestPharmacy.com, an online Canadian pharmacy which offers international medications as well as Canada’s drugs has seen a large upsurge each quarter in the number of new American patients since the U.S. recession began in December 2007. Canadian drugs are well-known to cost about half as much as the very same medications in the USA. But what does the recession have to do with the increase of Americans patronizing Canada Pharmacy websites?

“Every month hundreds of thousands of Americans were losing their jobs and with that many were losing their health care insurance,” says Aman Bhangu, Canadian pharmacy Manager for one of NorthWestPharmacy.com’s licensed Canadian pharmacies. A registered pharmacist in Washington State as well as Alberta and British Columbia, Mr. Bhangu used to work for a large U.S. pharmacy chain. “It was really disheartening to see so many patients without adequate insurance pay thousands of dollars out of their pockets for medications they could have been getting for so much less from a Canadian pharmacy website like NorthWestPharmacy.com. I am much happier helping save Americans a bundle than charging them a fortune,” he says.

Joel Edward, a baby boomer in Florida who lost his job and health insurance last year agrees, “I saved $3000 on my blood pressure and arthritis pills at North West Pharmacy in the last year alone – a Canadian pharmacy can be a lifesaver for someone like me.”

NorthWestPharmacy.com does not dispute the fact that many out of work Americans and those with poor health coverage need to turn to online pharmacies in Canada in order to afford their medications. But proceeding with caution is urged. There are numerous reports of unscrupulous operators preying on those seeking Canada’s drugs online. Mr. Bhangu provides the following safety checklist to look for when evaluating a Canada pharmacy website:

• Requires a prescription from your own doctor
• Certified by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) and when clicking the CIPA seal the consumer lands on the cipa.com landing page to ensure the seal is not a fake
• buySAFE approved website which independently guarantees every purchase against identity theft as well as the lowest price and customer satisfaction
• TRUSTe privacy certified
• Provides a toll-free call center and access to licensed pharmacists for medication counseling questions

NorthWestPharmacy.com is available 7 days a week online or by toll-free phone to ensure that Canadian drugs can be purchased in a safe and secure manner with a substantial savings.
