CheapRXmeds.com?
Absolutely. It is as safe as having
your prescriptions filled at your local pharmacy. The only

much cheaper. Your prescription is reviewed by a licensed
Canadian physician, and once approved, is forwarded to our
licensed Canadian pharmacy so that it may be filled.

5. How large a supply of my
medication can I buy?
You may only order as much as your physician prescribes
for you. Also, all prescription shipments are limited to
a maximum 90-day supply per medication. Thus, if your prescription
is for a one year supply, we will ship you a 90-day supply
once every three months. Note: It is permissible to issue
100 tab/capsule quantities under this restriction.

8. How do Canadian drugs compare
to drugs from other countries in terms of safety and
effectiveness?
The Canadian government has very strict requirements for
the manufacturing of medication in Canada. These requirements
are very similar to the requirements in many other leading
first world nations. In fact,
some of the drugs sold in Canada are actually manufactured
in the US and repackaged for sale in Canada. Generic medications
are all manufactured in Canada under Canada's stringent requirements.

forms and original prescriptions to us at 1-877-278-5359,
and use a credit card as your method of payment.

11. What’s the difference
between generic drugs and brand name drugs?
When a drug company first invents a drug (i.e. Prozac) that
company is the only one allowed to make that drug for a certain
number of years (approximately 10 years in the US and 5-7
years in Canada). After this time period, other companies
are allowed to make the same drug. These drugs are called
generics. The original drug (i.e. Prozac) is called a brand
name drug. Brand name drugs and their generics are identical
in terms of active ingredients. The generic pills may look
different (because they are made by a different company)
but inside is exactly the same active ingredient which works
in exactly the same way. The only difference between brand
name drugs and generic drugs is that generics are always
less expensive.

substitute is available.

13. Do you charge a fee to have

accordance with the Alberta College of Pharmacists Standard
5.1 (m) Standards of Practice - The Pharmacist, Jan. 1,
1996.

23. Why do the pills I receive
from you look different from the ones I get from my local
pharmacy?
Brand name pills normally look different from generic versions,
despite the fact that they include the same active ingredient
and work in the exact same way. If you order a generic version
of your pill medication from us, do not expect it to look
exactly like the brand name version that you're used to. Not
only that, but in Canada, there are some brand name pills
that look a bit different than they do in your own country, even though
they contain the same active ingredient and are manufactured
by the exact same company. In the case of two different generics
of the same drug, they will look different if they are manufactured
by two different companies.
BACK TO TOP
24. What are the names of the
companies that manufacture generic drugs in Canada?
The manufacturing of generic drugs in
Canada are subject to the same strict approval and
regulation as brand name drugs, and are used by millions of
Canadians on a daily basis. The manufacturers of these
generics include large, well-established and respected
companies. Major manufacturers include Apotex,
GenPharm, NovoPharm, PharmaScience, Taro, RatioPharm and
Sabex.

25. What's the difference
between an initial online prescription order and a refill
prescription order?
When
placing refill orders, no other information needs to be
provided, unless there has been a change in your shipping
address, contact information, health, in the strengths or
quantities of the medications you're taking, or in your
preferred method of payment (in which case, this information
needs to be provided). To place your refill order,
simply call us toll-free at 1-877-278-5355 or email us at
refills@cheaprxmeds.com. Be sure to provide us
with your full name, telephone number and the details of the
drugs you want us to refill (i.e. name, strength and
quantity).
Once
your prescription has expired (1 year from the date it was
originally written), it will be necessary to provide us with
a copy of a new prescription issued by your doctor in
order for us to continue filling your prescription.
