About a year ago, I started ordering all of my prescription medications from a Canadian pharmacy. One of the more confusing things for me when I first started out is whether or not I needed a Canadian prescription in order to do so. If you are struggling to pay for your own medication and this is stopping you from ordering your medication, the truth about the Canada prescription will be quite liberating to you. Here are a few things for you to consider whenever doing so.

First of all, any medication that requires a prescription inside of the country of Canada is not going to need a specific Canadian prescription in order for the pharmacy to fill it. If you have a Canada prescription that is perfectly fine but it is also possible for you to use a prescription from your doctor that is in the United States to fill the order. The easiest way for you to be able to get that prescription to the pharmacy in Canada is to fax your prescription to the Canadian pharmacy. You can also have the prescription mailed, which is less convenient but it will also get the job done. Personally, I have always used NorthWestPharmacy.com to fill the Canadian prescription and they were able to take care of it for me. I simply fax the prescription from my doctor.

Another thing that you should understand is that just because a medication requires a prescription in the United States does not necessarily mean that the exact same medicine is going to be Canadian prescription drugs. This is because the Canadian government is responsible for deciding which of these medications are going to be a Canada prescription drug and which ones are going to be available over the counter. If the drug is a reasonably safe medication that contains a few side effects, you will usually find that you do not need a prescription for it in Canada. Since the pharmacy that you are using resides in Canada, they will not require a Canadian prescription for these medications. You can order them without a prescription and have them delivered to you.

As I mentioned earlier, I use NorthWestPharmacy.com for all of my prescription and nonprescription medications. When it comes to Canada prescription medications, you cannot beat the prices that they have available and I found this to be quite liberating. No more searching around at multiple websites to see who was going to save me a few cents on my Canadian prescription, I simply shop at one website and know that I am always paying the lowest price available.
