Why is medication so much cheaper in Canada? It’s because the government limits what drug companies can charge. In the U.S. they charge what the market will bear. Canadian pharmacies with Web sites can sell the same pills to Americans at up to 90 percent less. The U.S. FDA says it cannot guarantee the purity of the drugs from Canada. But the truth is, in most cases, the drugs sold in the United States and the items ordered online from Canada are identical. The savings for one year when you buy prescription from a Canada online pharmacy can be in excess of $2,000! Why not order your medications from Canada?
