So what is that makes the Canadian pharmacies so attractive to customers in the US? The answer is quite simple and just boils down to one word: pricing. Pharmacies based in Canada claim to offer prices which can more than offset the option of purchasing drugs from a vendor based in US. These pharmacies sell virtually all drugs sold by vendors back in the US and can be shipped to any destination in America. The situation is such that American HMOs are encouraging US citizens to get the prescriptions medications from Canada.

This is the main reason why Canadian pharmacies have managed to attract many US customers and the customer list continues to grow. There have been claims of filling up to 3000 prescriptions a day. Medications imported from Canada could cost up to 60-80 per cent less than those purchased from within the US. Canadian pharmacies also sell drugs to patients without prescriptions in these cases, if the patient is connected to an online doctor. Prescriptions are then given either online or over the phone and the drugs are shipped to your location overnight using the courier service.

Some pharmacies also provide an option of purchasing cheap drugs from countries in Asia and Europe, or whichever country offers the lowest possible price, and can have it shipped to you at no extra charge. In any case, the prices will still be far cheaper than the ones offered by US pharmacies. The entire US pharmaceutical industry is up in arms against their Canadian counterparts and wants to control this trade in order to survive with healthy profit margins.
