You do have to send them, or fax, scripts. You can see your orders, past orders, etc., online. They also post all prices online. I'm happy with the service.
The only 'bad' thing I can say is sending them a script, rather than faxing. I've done this three times and each time it takes a couple of weeks before they process it. Snail mail really is like a snail. Otherwise, no worries.

Canada is the originator of "Snail Mail" I send a lot of Christmas cards to Canadian relative and they have to be mailed early December to make sure they get them before Christmas.

I got my Celebrex from Canada Drug for years. I paid $180 for 90 tablets from Pfizer in Australia. Local prices was close to $300. through my Part D. coverage. They came from a pharmacy in Barbados. At that time the insurance would not cover me here. Now that there is a generic I get that for $25.00 for 90 tablets. They were located in one of the central provinces.

Sorry about the mistake the site is

canadapharmacyonline.com

They are a legitimate pharmacy and the savings are about 50% or more than US prices

Good luck

The website my doctor referred me to is
canadianpharmacyonline.com

Not all class drugs are available such as narcotics etc. but most maintenance drugs are.
They filled my RX after faxing or emailing a copy of the RX and even keep records for refills.

I hope this helps

Now my problem is the US laws for my pain meds can't be filled out of state even with a RX hard copy do to insane laws and abuse by the pill mills in Florida. I have to return back instate where I live to get my hard copy RX filled because it is for pain medications.

Im 61 years old and have been on long term pain meds for over 30 years and these new laws to fight the abusers cause hardship on everyone.
It's insane
Good luck with your meds.

Read response to question 5
Canadian Pharmacy

[Rollnhome]

Didn't give inaccurate information, while in Canada (Nova Scotia) I was told by pharmacy that they could not fill my blood pressure med because the Canadian government did not honor American doctors prescriptions. I had to take my meds and prescriptions to a Canadian doctor for a Canadian prescription. The doctor said it happens all the time.
Now, if you are talking mail order prescriptions. I know nothing about that and would have not replied to this thread.
This is not what happened to a friend or what someone told me. This was my personal experience.
Possibly filling the script whilst in country vs via mail order has different regulations.

I don't understand why someone would give you an answer that you can not use them. It depends on the medications and of course the class drug you are taking. Narcotics of course are not available but most are available like blood pressure, diabetes etc are available. PM me and I will send you the web address my doctor referred me to. My meds were 50% less ordering from them.

I would like that web address as well! I used to get many of my scrips from a company in Canada. They were legit and used my US doctors scrips. The meds were shipped from the UK but were real. Unfortunately, I don't have their web address anymore. Was a long time ago.

Are you a veteran if so some may be available from the VA for less.
PM me if you are interested in doing this

Years ago when I needed a drug not available in the US my specialist here sent me to a doctor in Canada who gave me a prescription and I took it to a pharmacy there. After the first time they mailed them to me.
It was years before it was approved for use in the US and by that time I was better.
Nothing shady about the pharmacy I went to.

[Bumpyroad]

I think that the "phony" ones offer drugs that are directly shipped from overseas/third world manufacturers that have not been subjected to the NDA process or FDA inspection. Having inspected firm's in Egypt, India, and Mexico I wouldn't trust them if the dosage is critical.

I dunno about Canadian pharmacies in particular, but I have had good results from online pharmacies. Some require a prescription and some don't. Sometimes the meds you want are OTC in their country.

Others have already answered your question. I just want to point out that if you spend any time in Arizona... or even Southern California, it might well be worth your while to hop across the border to such places as Algodones, Mexico. They will honor your prescriptions no questions asked...and the prices are unbelievably low.
