“A trusted company”

Robert C.

We first started buying drugs in Canada 10 years ago, because our Doctor recommended buying there. A drug my wife used was $1,300 through Medicare, but the same brand was just $90 from Canada. I heard about Pharmacy Checker a few years later and started buying drugs from companies, that they approved. Several of my friends also use Pharmacy Checker with out any problems. Later there were other costly drugs, that I got for a fraction of the cost I would have paid. Thank you Pharmacy Checker.

They say they're cheaper than the United States that is not true! It is the same damn price whether you go to chewy or Walmart. Don't get taken in from Canada or any other out of country

Hi Max -- We publish price comparisons among international mail-order pharmacies and U.S. coupons. We are not a pharmacy, do not sell medication, and make no claims about providing a cheaper option. Many medications - generics especially - are cheaper in the U.S. compared to abroad. Brand drugs are generally more expensive. It varies from drug to drug. Let us know your medication, and we can certainly help try to find the cheapest option, whether that's through patient assistance programs, US coupons, or international pharmacies.

May 21st, 2020

I tried several pharmacies printed out the card for several different drugs went to 3 of them and c called sev eral others and no one took them. Most of them would not even try entering the code to see saying they didn't accept any of these. I was about to order through Canadian pharmacy but am leery of them now too. Please explain this and if anything can do please

Dear Thomas, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It sounds very frustrating, and we regret sending you on such a wild goose chase. Many U.S. pharmacies accept the PharmacyChecker Discount Card as a viable out-of-pocket discount for patients seeking affordable costs on their medication. I'm sorry to hear this wasn't the case at these pharmacies. In order to better address your comment, could you please let us know the exact locations and the coupon information you have used/were denied use? Feel free to message us privately via Sitejabber, email us at info@pharmacychecker.com, or call (718) 554-3067.
Our sincerest apologies,
Lucia Mueller

Question:

Answer:

Hi Muhammed -- The PharmacyChecker Verification Program is closed to all international online pharmacies that offer to ship controlled substances, such as Adderall, into the United States. The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008 ("Ryan Haight Act") regulates the practice of online pharmacy at the federal level by making it "unambiguous that it is a per se violation of the [Controlled Substances Act] for a practitioner to issue a prescription for a controlled substance by means of the Internet without having conducted at least one in-person medical evaluation." (Federal Register/Vol. 74 No. 64, April 6th, 2009, p. 15599). We offer discount coupons on Adderall that you can use at local U.S. pharmacies in conjunction with a valid prescription: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/adderall/#us-prices

Question:

Can i trust the rx from india is legit? eloquis 5mg?

Answer:

Hi Maribeth -- Eliquis is commonly-sought online due to the outrageously expensive price tag in the United States and elsewhere, for that matter. Overall, about one-third of medication filled in U.S. pharmacies are from India. It's important to note that there are problems with drug quality in India, mostly with products sold to poorer Indian communities and countries. Lawfully manufactured, Indian versions of medications sold online by international pharmacies, even if they are of high quality, are not necessarily and often not FDA-approved. If you order online from an Indian pharmacy, stick to those verified in the PharmacyChecker Verification Program. We verify the licenses of Indian pharmacies and inspect the pharmacy to make sure they meet our pharmacy practice standards. We detail more about Indian pharmacy safety in this blog post: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/askpc/are-indian-pharmacies-really-safe-the-prices-are-so-much-lower/

Answer:

ADHD medication is a controlled substance. If you live in the U.S., you will not be able to order amphetamine salt combinations from safe pharmacies abroad because legitimate accredited international pharmacies simply do not ship controlled substances to the U.S. Read more here: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/askpc/adhd-medication-cost/

Question:

I just paid over $400.00 for eliquis; can i buy it for less?

Answer:

Hi Chuck-- It's getting quite expensive in the United States. You can compare prices for Eliquis among accredited international online pharmacies and check shipping locations at https://www.pharmacychecker.com/eliquis/?sort=cost_per_unit. Patients can also compare discounts at local U.S. pharmacies. The manufacturer also offers a savings program for which you may qualify: https://www.eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com/ELIQUIS-agnostic-savings-support We are not a pharmacy. PharmacyChecker verifies online pharmacies for your safety while shopping meds online, ensuring you avoid counterfeit medications. Here is a list of legitimate online pharmacies to which you may want to send your prescription if they carry your medication: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/accredited-online-pharmacies/ Click on the logo of your preferred pharmacy to order through their website. International pharmacies do not accept U.S. health insurance—you will have to pay out-of-pocket, but it's usually cheaper than if you were to use your health insurance at your local pharmacy. You or your doctor will send your prescription to your chosen pharmacy based on their instructions. They usually accept it via fax or email. We require pharmacy websites verified and monitored by PharmacyChecker to disclose average processing and shipping times so patients know what to expect. We also require accredited pharmacies to ensure that the patient has access to a pharmacist for consultation and require that they clearly publish a working telephone number and valid mailing address on their website. Most pharmacies have a "Contact Us" page on their websites, which also typically includes their business hours. Some pharmacies also have a "Live Chat" option allowing you to ask questions while on the pharmacy's website. If you have any additional questions, let me know. I'm here to help.

Question:

Just want to know this canandian pharmacy ishttps://online-help24.com/contact_us/ legit,

Answer:

Hi Maximo -- This is indeed a rogue online pharmacy that is using our PharmacyChecker Seal without our permission. Do not purchase your medication from this pharmacy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. One way we often identify rogues is by catching those that display a fake PharmacyChecker Seal. Displaying an unauthorized seal is fraud. We are continually trying to get rogue online pharmacies to remove the fake PharmacyChecker seals. If you see a PharmacyChecker Seal, click on it and make sure it takes you to a profile that is hosted on a website that has a web address starting with http://www.pharmacychecker.com or www.pharmacychecker.com. If it doesn't, then it's a fake seal. Most other online pharmacy verification programs work in the same manner, so CLICK THE SEAL to see if it's authentic.

Here is a list of PharmacyChecker-accredited online pharmacies that may help with your prescription needs: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/accredited-online-pharmacies/ It is critical to use caution when buying medication online.

Question:

Answer:

Hi Gerald-- Thank you for your question. We share your concern about possible delays but we don't believe the public health crisis affects the safety of medication. Just a quick clarification: prescription drugs are not ordered through PharmacyChecker.com. PharmacyChecker verifies and accredits licensed international pharmacy websites through which prescription medication can be ordered. Our online pharmacy verifications continue on the same today as before the COVID-19 pandemic. To that effect, we have the same trust in PharmacyChecker-accredited online pharmacies. Since we do not have a role in the distribution of medicine, we do not know specifics about prescription order delays. We strongly urge that you check with your chosen online pharmacy regarding possible delays. All the best.
