Canadian Pharmacy
 
Has anyone had a positive experience ordering meds from a Canadian Pharmacy. The drug is just too expensive here and I’d like to find out how difficult it would be to get it from Canada.

I had excellent service from this Canadian Pharmacy for several years. I used them until my expensive medication was available here in generic form. You can contact them, they are extremely helpful. And the price and service is much better than the local storefront meds locations.

Is it as beneficial with the Medicare Part D cap of $2,000?

Search the Daily Sun. There is an advertisement a few times a week. Very small ad and they have a small storefront off campus.

Call them and ask them questions. Scripts were delivered by mail within days and not from Canada. Price varies by qty.

If you are eligible for Medicare and drugs are covered by Medicare Part D, consider a Plan by Well Care. They have no monthly fee, and my current covered drugs are at no cost.

I use Pharmstore.com for my expensive drug. Takes about 2 weeks or so from order to delivery. The cheapest alternative I have found even with the new cap. Was paying over $400 for 90 days with medicare supplement plan, now pay $124 for 100 days. Pharmstore.com was referred to me by my Cardiologist.

If this is a question regarding my post, I'll answer. I was under 65 when I used t h e Canadian Pharmacy I linked to, so I can't say about Part D. Currently, I have Part D with Wellcare and I get cholesterol meds through them at no charge. BUT, the medication I was getting through Canadian Pharmacy even though it's now a generic version, is cheaper for me by using GoodRx with Publix Pharmacy. WellCare is more expensive.
I think one needs to shop around for the best med prices.

My wife has been on some medications that are expensivee and not on any Plan D formulary at a reasonable price. I have used 2 Canadian drug stores, the most recent being PharmStore. My multi-year experience with both of them was good with the drugs being shipped from Australia and New Zealand. This year, with the Plan D, $2,000 cap, we are using Anthem. The premium is around $58 a month, but I can get a 90-day supply almost anywhere, no BS, no mail-order requirement. Disclaimer - we are snowbirds so our zip code of record is not FL - YMMV.

Bottom line on the Canadian pharmacies we used are that they were easy, quick and would use them again in a heart beat.

Hope that helps.

Love them. Literally changed my life. I should’ve always been on blood thinners, but the price was overwhelming. I get it from Canada for the less price for 90 days that I would’ve paid for 30. They also offer several different alternatives.

Being new on Medicare I compared all of the drug offerings to my Canadian equivalence and there was nothing close. Their follow up and contact with the doctor is also extraordinary compared to anything I’ve seen here.

Canadian pharmacies
 
My husband and I have both used the Canadian pharmacies with no issues. Great prices but it takes a couple of weeks so if you do order from them, give yourself a few weeks of buffer with your current medicine on hand.

i used canadian pharmacy world for years until i opted in to a prescription plan . saved a ton of money
they give you options on some meds to country of origin which brings down the price considerably. i always went with the cheapest option and never had a problem

I have used AllDayChemist several times with great success. No hassles and no paperwork. Don't need to even show a prescription. Get what you need / want. Was able to get my $550/month drug for $75.

My wife uses a mail order Canadian Pharmacy for her blood thinner Rx. If she goes through Humana the cost is over $600 for 90 days and she pays $70 for 90 day supply. It takes a while to get it so you need to reorder when you get down to 30 days.

I have been using Bison Pharmacy. Very professional and their customer service is over the top.

Have been using PharmStore that my PCP referred me to. Give them a call at 1-800-281-8347.

Pharm store has been reliable

Pinball wizard 06-17-2025 12:59 PM

I've use Canadian Pharmacy World and Canadian Prescription Drugstore. Both have been very good. A 90 supply of my Diabetes med costs $375 with plan D and $60 with the Canadian pharmacy. Not a generic, sealed package boehringer-ingelheim.

Don't you wonder how GoodRx gets you a lower price?
Must be just goodness and kindness.

I don't wonder at all. I know how they make money.

Depends on the medicine.
My wife has a med that cost us over $4k in 2024 which in 2025 capped our cost at $2k.

But I get a med through the Canadian Prescription Drugstore that costs me $175 for the year. Previously I paid almost $900yr with my healthcare and using a US pharmacy. So I am saving money and not close to the $2k cap.

Calisport 06-18-2025 09:51 PM

I've ordered from them and they were reliable. I think drugs come from India though. I've ordered through India and drugs come in some shady brown packages sometimes. I've recently ordered from Mark Cubans site for a lot less than anywhere else. You still need a prescription but get multiple pills for low prices. Doctor recommended for certain drugs.
