Are all prescription medications available?  top

Many of the same pharmaceuticals offered in the United States are also offered through our affiliated pharmacy in Canada; however, you will not be able to fill prescriptions for any addictive or narcotic pharmaceuticals.

What is the legitimacy of your service?  top

For many years, U.S. citizens living in northern border-states have been organizing bus trips into Canada to take advantage of the lower prices for medications. Our service offers access to the same savings for Americans in all parts of the country through our partner Canadian pharmacy. However, you must provide a valid prescription from your licensed U.S. physician, you order cannot exceed a 3-month supply, and you cannot fill prescriptions for any narcotic or addictive medications.

Will you accept my insurance?  top

Insurance plans in the U.S. do not traditionally accept claims from a foreign pharmacy, but we have found many insurance companies are starting to accept them. You will receive a receipt with your prescription that you can submit to your insurance company, but we cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed. We suggest calling your insurance company to determine their policy on this issue.

How is my first order different from refill orders?   top

During your first order, you will need to complete the registration process which includes accepting the customer agreement, filling out a health profile form, submitting a copy of your prescription via fax or mail along with our Prescription Order Form, and providing payment information.

If you have refills written for your prescription, a representative from our affiliated pharmacy will call you about filling the refills as they come due. Once your prescription has expired, you will need to submit a copy of the new prescription written by a U.S. physician along with the Prescription Order Form you can access from our How to Order page. As is the case with your first order, the new prescription will be reviewed along with your medical information and approved by a Canadian physician for fulfillment.

Do I need a valid prescription from my doctor?   top

Yes. In order for our partner pharmacy to fill your prescription, you must submit a copy of your original prescription written by a licensed U.S. physician during the ordering process.

How do I pay for my medications?  top

The only method of payment currently accepted by our affiliated pharmacy is by credit or debit card. You can use either a Mastercard or Visa, and all payment transactions take place on secure servers to ensure the protection of your personal financial information. If you do not wish to submit your credit card information online, we can help you submit it to our affiliated pharmacy over the phone. Please call us at (888) 757-3732 ext. 6925 if you need assistance. If you do not have a personal credit card, you can use one from a friend or family member if you choose.

How long will it take to receive my original order and refill orders?  top

Due to the time it takes to validate your medical information and register you as a new customer, your initial order could take a maximum of 21 days to arrive. However, our affiliated pharmacy is usually able ship your order to you in 12-13 days depending on volume. Refill orders could take a maximum of 14 days to arrive, but our affiliated pharmacy is usually able to ship your refill orders in 7-10 days.

Can I choose to have my prescription filled with a generic brand?  top

Yes. The generic drugs produced in Canada are held to the same rigorous approval process that is analagous to that of the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration. The generic drugs offered by our affiliated pharmacy are used widely by Canadian citizens similar to the use of generic drugs offered in the U.S. You will be able to indicate your willingness to accept generics when you fill out the Health Profile form.

Why are some of the generic brands in Canada not offered in the U.S.?  top

Due to differences in the patent laws between the two countries, there are generic analogs of U.S. drugs that are produced in Canada that are not offered in the U.S. This is a legal matter and in no way relates to a compromise in quality and safety.

What additional fees will I have to pay beyond the price of my medications?  top
The only additional fee is a shipping charge of US$9.95 per order, not per prescription. You may order several prescriptions at once and you will only be charged one shipping charge of US$9.95. Please note that if you order from multiple countires at the same time you will be charged $9.95 per order, per country.

Why does My Rx Savings now provide medications from other countries besides Canada ? top

Due to the attempts by the large drug manufacturers to stop U.S. citizens from purchasing their prescription medications from Canada, we have established relationships with licensed pharmacies in other countries to allow U.S. citizens to continue to purchase their medications from other countries as well. This will assist the customer in not having to wait for any medications that may become short listed in Canada, and provide our customers with other safe and affordable options in which to purchase their medications.


Why are prices lower from some of these other countries ie Israel and U.K.? top

Prices vary per country based upon a number of things that include the drug manufacturer's ability to charge for drugs, volume purchasing, and pricing controls set by the governments in these countries or the pharmacies abilities to purchase the drugs from the manufacturer.


Are medications from other countries as safe as those from Canada? top

Yes. In fact, all countries have their own regulatory board that approves drugs just as in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, many of the drugs in these countries are manufactured by the same drug manufacturers as those used for Canada and the U.S.


Are drugs from other countries manufactured in those countries? top

No. Many of the drug manufacturers have offices all over the world and these offices produce drugs for a number of different regions. For example, a large portion of Lipitor is manufactured in Ireland and supplied to all regions over the world.
