Find A Legitimate Source for Canadian Drugs Online
June 18, 2004 – One of the worries about trying to
buy prescription drugs on the Internet, particularly from foreign
countries, like Canada, is the quality of the drugs you order. Is this
really the drug I order, or just a fake? Now there is help at
PharmacyChecker.com.
PharmacyChecker.com, a leading independent
evaluator of mail order and online pharmacies, is advising consumers to
shop around before deciding to purchase a Medicare discount drug card.
On the same day that Medicare discount cards went into use, June 1,
consumers also gained free online access to PharmacyChecker.com's price
comparisons across Canadian and U.S. discount pharmacies on over 1500
drugs. Access to this information previously required paid subscription.
By shopping at some of the 30 licensed Canadian
pharmacies listed at
www.pharmacychecker.com, consumers can save 33% to 78% more than
with Medicare discount cards on popular brand name drugs (see table
below). For example, Lipitor (20mg - 100 pills) can be purchased for
$276.54 using the Medicare discount card. PharmacyChecker.com shows the
same drug available for only for $167.08 from a licensed Canadian online
pharmacy that partners with a licensed New Zealand pharmacy,
circumventing pharmaceutical supply restrictions in Canada. Lower prices
on many generic drugs can also be obtained from licensed U.S. wholesale
and discount pharmacies listed on PharmacyChecker.com.
PharmacyChecker.com President and founder Dr. Tod
Cooperman, MD, said, "It is with great pleasure that we can offer
seniors and others information that can save them many thousands of
dollars a year while shopping at safe mail-order and online pharmacies."
A paid subscription ($19.95/year) is still available at
PharmacyChecker.com and provides additional discounts and special offers
from participating pharmacies.
PharmacyChecker.com is privately held and based in
White Plains, New York. It has no ownership in or from companies that
sell or distribute pharmacy products. Its ratings and price comparisons
are available online at
www.pharmacychecker.com. Its ratings will also be published in
paperback this July in PharmacyChecker.com Guide to Low-Cost Canadian
and U.S. Pharmacies 2004, which can be pre-ordered from
