1. Why are the drugs so cheap in Canada?

Canadian government has strict prescription drug price controls, which it negotiates with all major pharmaceutical companies. We pass these savings directly to you.

2. Are Canadian brand medications the same as in US?

Same companies in the US and Canada manufacture all brand name prescription drugs. Most of the medications are identical. There are some that may look different or have a different name, but the active ingredient is always the same click here for a partial LIST. Some prescription drugs from Canada are actually originally manufactured in US and then repackaged for sale in Canada. By definition all Canadian medications are not US FDA approved however they do meet rigorous standards of both HPFB (Health Products and Food Branch of Canada) and Health Canada.

11. Why do you round up or down the quantity of medication?

For your safety Canadian pharmacy will only ship medication(s) in original manufacturers sealed containers. All the quantities are rounded up or down depending on how many are originally packaged by the drug manufacturer in each container.
