TheCanadianPharmacy Warns US Citizens Buying Meds Online as CanadaDrugs Closes

Share this news:

TheCanadianPharmacy.com is warning U.S. citizens to be extremely cautious when choosing a replacement Canadian pharmacy to fill their prescriptions now that CanadaDrugs.com - the world's largest online Canadian pharmacy - has shut down.

--


On July 13, 2018 the largest Canadian online pharmacy, CanadaDrugs.com, closed its operations as part of a plea agreement with the United States Department of Justice. Now, TheCanadianPharmacy.com – a CIPA-certified online pharmacy – is cautioning U.S. citizens to be extremely cautious when choosing a replacement Canadian pharmacy to fill their prescriptions.


The void left by CanadaDrugs.com has created an opportunity for fraudulent online “pharmacies” to spring up and exploit a patient’s need for affordable medication. Countless US patients have been left out in the cold now that their primary Canadian pharmacy has shuttered operations. This is a dangerous situation, according to The Canadian Pharmacy.


David Zimmer, owner of TheCanadianPharmacy.com, says “So many in the U.S. struggle with affording the medications that produce an immediate benefit to their quality of life. Their local options are just too expensive. Now that CanadaDrugs.com has closed, they’re left scrambling to find a new Canadian pharmacy to fill the void.” He continues, “That can lead to a dangerous situation if they’re not careful and diligent with selecting a replacement, legitimate Canadian pharmacy.”


Fortunately, says Zimmer, there are legitimate and reputable options still available to customers in the U.S. – like TheCanadianPharmacy.com, certified by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association – that offer an affordable alternative to CanadaDrugs.com.


Not all “online pharmacies in Canada” are reputable sources to buy from. That’s why Zimmer’s team put together a comprehensive guide on how to stay safe when buying prescription medication online. The guide goes into identifying a legitimate pharmacy vs. a fake one, keeping your payment information safe and much more. With the closure of CanadaDrugs.com, these safety skills are more important than ever. Zimmer adds, “The most important thing a US customer should ensure is that their Canadian pharmacy is actually a licensed Canadian pharmacy themselves, regulated by the authorities in the Canadian province where they are located.”


The CanadaDrugs.com website was shut down as part of a plea agreement between the United States Department of Justice and the ownership of CanadaDrugs.com. The original case, which led to the closure was not related to CanadaDrugs.com’s Canadian pharmacy business, but rather a wholesale operation serving US oncologists. Thankfully, companies like TheCanadianPharmacy.com have stepped up to fill the gap as many patients are left without a reliable alternative Canadian pharmacy.


TheCanadianPharmacy.com is a legitimate and reputable online Canadian pharmacy certified by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. They offer easy payment options and ship directly to customers. Visit their website today or call +1 (866) 335-8064 to learn more.
