Health care costs have been rising drastically over the last few years and this situation has been tough for the growing number of United States senior citizens who have chronic illnesses and no prescription drug coverage. In recent times, more and more senior citizens are looking towards a Canadian drug company to afford medicine which would otherwise be too expensive in their local hometown stores.

Here is a short story about my experience with several Canadian drug pharmacies. My wife and I paid around $650 for a three-month supply of drugs at an online Vancouver registered pharmacy. These very same drugs would have otherwise cost us around $1200 buying at Target and Kmart. That amounts to a saving of around $600 which includes personal consultations with a Canadian physician. By following what we did, chances are you can save up to 70% on buying of drugs.

Despite of the relatively stronger Canadian dollar, there are still big savings to be had across the board. A 100 day supply of Celebrex 200 mg is $150 in Canada, about $270 at your corner drug store. Lipitor 20 mg is $130 there, $450 here. Have your doctor write 40 mg Lipitor, cut them in half, and pay only $65.

There is nothing dangerous or illegal about buying drugs in Canada. For many years, Americans have been driving across the border to buy Canadian government-approved prescription drugs at lower prices. These days, Canadian drugstores are doing direct marketing of mail-order drugs and offering anyone in the US with a valid prescription the benefits of Canadian price controls. It is estimated, till date, roughly three million American seniors have taken advantage of these huge savings.

Here is how the ordering process works. For researching on the current prescription drug prices, you can visit the websites of reputable Canadian drug stores. Services vary and some online pharmacies charge for shipping, while others do not. Generally, prices are in US dollars. Once you have decided on a drugstore that suits your taste, simply fax over your prescriptions for a review by registered and fully licensed Canadian doctors. In my case, a doctor then followed up with me via a phone call as part of a consultation process. Next, just whip out your credit card and the drugs will be delivered in a week. The savings you will receive will be HUGE!

Buying prescription drugs from a Canadian drug company has been a Godsend to me and my wife. While this might not be a long-term solution, it will definitely serve as a good stopgap solution to help you cope with the rising health care costs.
