Compared to most other countries, USA has very high prices for the brand name medications. Prices of generic medications also are higher in US. The time frame involved in launching the generics to the market in US is longer because of the laws that are applicable. Large number of US citizens opts for buying their medications from pharmacies outside US, due to this reason. According to US customs estimations, every year more than 10 million US citizens bring medications into the country across the land borders. Main sources are in Mexico and Canada. According to industry sources, a staggering two million packages of pharmaceutical arrive in USA by post or courier services. These purchases of medicines by end users amount to Billions of Dollars.

The main reason for people to look for sources for buying medicines, outside their country is the massive differences in the prices. For US citizens buying from online pharmacies is a more convenient and a cheaper way than buying them at a brick and mortar pharmacy. A spokesperson for Big Mountain Drugs, a reputed Canadian online pharmacy explained the reasons why their prices for prescription medications are much lower than the prices in US. “In Canada the government decides the maximum prices of prescription drugs, after studying the distribution costs and the profits of pharmaceutical companies. In USA, There are no limits on the prices or the profits earned by the Pharmaceutical companies.”

Due to the shocking price disparities between online and offline pharmacies more and more consumers turn to online pharmacies to fill their prescriptions. The customers of the Big Mountain Drugs can make bigger savings by getting the benefits of their 5% customer loyalty program and the coupon codes. Sometimes the customers can make savings ranging from 50 to 70 percent on the same branded drug that is available in a US high street pharmacy and a Canada Online pharmacy.

Spokesperson emphasized that, when buying medications, price is not the only criterion that should apply. He showed that a large number of websites have appeared to exploit the unsuspecting consumers as more people are getting used to buying their medicines from online pharmacies. The online operations of scammers and rogue pharmacies cheat the consumers in many ways. Either they do not deliver the medicines or deliver low quality, expired or contaminated drugs. Sometimes they sell bogus medicines that are dangerous and sometimes lethal.

The customers should be satisfied with the reputation and the genuineness of the online pharmacy before they place an order. There are many ways to identify a genuine good online pharmacy. They should give their street address and telephone numbers. Check whether they sell prescription drugs without any prescription. All genuine pharmacies do not sell prescription medications without valid prescriptions.

The spokesperson for the Big Mountains Drugs went on to say “Ours is a licensed pharmacy operating in British Columbia. It has been verified by the International Pharmacy Association (CIPA). It is a member of the International Pharmacy Association of British Columbia (IPA BC). There is a team of well qualified pharmacists to issue the medications and answer the customers”. Pharmacychecker.com, an independent organization that verifies international pharmacies for their authenticity, quality of their medicines and the services in addition to the compliance with legal requirements has verified Big Mountains Drugs.
