No, Canadian drugs are only shipped from our contracted Canadian pharmacies. In addition to our Canadian pharmacies, we have affiliated contracted fulfillment centers in the following jurisdictions that ship products to our customers: Canada, Singapore, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Turkey, Mauritius, India, Australia, and the United States.

Yes, this is possible so long as the product you are looking for is available in Canada (or in the country you've specified). If you would like your order filled only in Canada (or in another specific country), please contact our customer support center and one of our representatives would be happy to assist you with your request. Please note however that the prices on our website generally reflect the most affordable option available from all of our affiliated international pharmacies and fulfillment centers located in Canada, Singapore, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Turkey, Mauritius, India, Australia, and the United States. By choosing to have your order filled only in Canada (or in another specific country), the prices for your medications may vary from our website prices.

It can be, but not necessarily. For example, not all drugs sold in retail US and Canadian pharmacies are made in the USA or Canada. Many generics that American and Canadian retail pharmacies sell may be sourced from India, Israel, European Union and possibly other countries as well. Even for many brand name drugs, while the manufacturer of the drug may be an American or European company, for a variety of reasons, the drug itself may be manufactured outside of the USA or Europe.

The branded drugs we sell are chemically and therapeutically no different from the ones you get in your local pharmacy. They both generally come from the same exact manufacturer. Generally, the main difference* is in the packaging and the price. Our packaging may be different from what you get locally, but we're also much cheaper.

* Other differences may include differences in trade name, form, and general appearance.

Due to differences in government regulation, different countries have different packaging requirements. For example, a product in Canada (or any other country) will have different packaging than the same product in the US even though both drugs are chemically and therapeutically equivalent and are generally manufactured by the same exact company.

Due to government price controls, medications from Canada and many other countries are often significantly cheaper than in the United States. Also, other countries may have more affordable generic versions of drugs, which may not yet be available in the US.

Brand name pills normally look different from generic versions, despite the fact that they include the same active ingredient and work in the exact same way. If you order a generic version of your pill medication from us, do not expect it to look exactly like the brand name version that you're used to. Not only that, but in Canada and other countries, there are some brand name pills that look a bit different than they do in your own country, even though they contain the same active ingredient and are manufactured by the exact same company. In the case of two different generics of the same drug, they will look different if they are manufactured by two different companies.BACK TO TOP
