A great many people have already switched to online pharmacies and regard them as a much more convenient way to purchase medicines. There are two major reasons explaining the phenomenon. The first is cost. Because of the economic policy of the U.S. Health care, consumers often must pay a significantly higher price for medications than consumers abroad. The other reason is privacy. Some people prefer to order their prescription medications on the Internet, even at a higher price, than to speak to a general practitioner in person about issues, such as depression, loss of hair, or erectile dysfunction. Sales of antidepressants, Viagra, Propecia, and diet pills, such as Phentermine or Xenical, are now a flourishing business. For many years, customers near Canada have driven across the border to buy medications at a reasonable price from Canadian pharmacies. Today, customers nationwide can buy from a Canadian pharmacy by mail. Canadian pharmacies commonly require an identification document and a valid prescription. Unless issued by a general practitioner who is besides accredited to practice medicine in Canada, U.S. Prescription medications will be reissued by a Canadian physician. As online pharmacies gain a larger share of the prescription medication market, customers must be aware of the possible problems associated with purchasing an online prescription for a medication, or purchasing a medication on the Web. These issues grow even more significant when ordering from foreign pharmacies. It is normally possible to obtain savings by purchasing prescription drugs online, even from a major U.S. Pharmacy, when you have a prescription issued to you personally. Normally, it is not cheaper to buy medications through an online prescription service, which normally marks up the price substantially even when nominally offering a prescription for free. That mark-up may be comparable to the cost of an in-person medical examination, and may significantly exceed that cost when refills are needed. Besides, as mentioned above, price cannot always be the main factor. If you don't know for sure whether you will receive the actual medicine which was prescribed for you, you must put safety ahead of price.
