Save on Prescription Medicines! What are the Best Online Foreign Pharmacies?

Looking for the best online foreign pharmacy? Not a bad idea, and I'll explain why...

In the face of soaring drug and health insurance costs, more and more people in the US and other nations are looking to foreign pharmacies to save money on their prescription drug costs. As an example...

For years, US seniors have been booking bus trips to Canadian destinations to do some sight-seeing, and, you guessed it, stock up on their prescription medications. Canadian drug suppliers are reliable, meet the same standards of quality and efficacy as the US, and most importantly, are much cheaper. It's not uncommon to save 70% or more on your prescription costs when purchasing in Canada. As an added bonus, the Canadian dollar is worth significantly less than the US dollar meaning Americans can see there money go further.

Sidebar: Why are Canadian drugs so cheap? Good question! The Canadian government regulates the price of drugs, preventing the pharmaceutical companies from charging whatever they wish. Provincial governments work with drug manufacturers to encourage fair and balanced pricing for individuals.

Mexican pharmacies are also a popular alternative.

Of course, with the rise of the Internet, it's no longer necessary to actually make a physical visit to an International pharmacy to save on your prescription medications... you can buy your drugs online! (the best part is that it is entirely legal to purchase and import into the US a 90-day supply of medication -- provided it's a legal drug for your own use!).

However, rarely does something that seems so simple actually turn out to be so. There are hazards with buying your meds online...

• You make get fake, outdated, or unapproved product
• You may not receive any product at all, and be left with very little legal recourse.
• Your medication could be of an improper dose
• You may get the wrong drug

... and so on. So how do you avoid the virtual minefields that await you when you look to save on your prescription meds online?

1) Join a membership site dedicated to seeking out and highlighting the best and most reliable online pharmacies. I purchased a one-month membership to...

www.BestOnlineForeignPharmacies.com

... to evaluate their service. This company does not sell medicines, instead, it maintains a list of both recommended services for you to investigate, and suspect or scam services to avoid. Pharmacies are grouped by country -- U.S., Canadian, Mexican and International.

It also provides a member forum, and a ton of informative articles dedicated to ensuring your online purchasing experience is a pleasant one. For example, some of the articles include...

• How To Get Free Drug Samples.
• Saving With Generic Drugs.
• Saving By Ordering From Mexican Pharmacies.
• Key Points On How To Use Canadian Pharmacies.
• Important Cautions When Using Prescription Drugs.
• Discover The Ins And Outs Of Medical Discount Cards.
• How To Get Your Medications For Free From the Drug Companies.
  

They also provide tips, testimonials for various services, a pharmacy blacklist, and much more. I thought the service was pretty cool, and worth money, at least until you find an online pharmacy you are comfortable working with!

From what I can tell, the staff seems pretty helpful and willing to help out as well!

On thing to note... this membership recurs automatically unless you cancel it. I canceled mine right at the end of the sign up process to ensure I wouldn't get billed again. This isn't a big deal... just keep it in mind as you proceed through the sign up process.

2) Investigate the other options available that will save you money on your prescription drugs. I highly recommend the publication "Saying No: How To Stop Paying Outrageous Prices To Stay Healthy." Written by a US physician, It is completely dedicated to introducing you to all the opportunities available to save on your meds.

You can read my review of that publication here!

3) Educate yourself further as to the "do's" and "don'ts" of buying medication online. For my US visitors, the Food and Drug Administration Web site is a good place to start. Visit the FDA Web site here!

On thing is for sure... you really don't need to pay full price for your prescription medications... there are plenty of options to investigate... and plenty of ways to save your money!
