Need to lower costs on pharmacy meds? These well-known Canadian pharmacies ship to the US.
Before the Affordable Care Act, states like Minnesota had lists of vetted Canadian pharmacies. The state visited the pharmacies to confirm their practices met proper standards. That project ended when the Affordable Care Act became law, with the assumption that people would have pharmacy coverage so they could afford their needed prescription medication. Fast forward to now and many are finding their health insurance has created new loopholes, networks, deductibles, and other tricks to avoid covering prescription drugs. This has left many looking for ways to afford their prescriptions due to lack of coverage.
A number of reliable Canadian pharmacies still do brisk business with US consumers, many close to the border to facilitate tourist visitors. They also ship to the US. Pharmacy meds fall into a couple of situations where you may or may not need a prescription. If the drug is over the counter in Canada you would not need a prescription to purchase it. If it is prescription in Canada and you have your US prescription, most pharmacies ask you to submit a copy of your US prescription. They then have the pharmacist or a staff doctor review the prescription before filling it in Canada. Some pharmacies offer doctor consults with a Canadian doctor to determine if the prescription you need is suitable and write you a Canadian prescription.
