Q:
Do I need a prescription ?
A: Yes, just like your local pharmacy we require a
valid prescription from a physician licensed to practice medicine
in your area of residence .
Q:
Can you fill prescriptions from my American Physician?
A: Yes we can, once a Canadian doctor has reviewed
your profile and approved your prescription under his/her
Canadian License.
Q:
How does the quality of Canadian Prescription drugs compare
to American prescription drugs?
A: Canada has an exceptional health care system and
has very strict standards for the approval and manufacturing
of prescription drugs.
Q:
Why are prescription drug prices lower in Canada?
A: In Canada prescription drug prices are lower for
several reasons. The Canadian government
has price controls, this limits how
much drug manufacturers can charge for brand name drugs once
approved and caps subsequent price increases. Also, generic
drugs are available 5 years earlier in Canadian pharmacies.
Q:
What is the difference between a generic drug and a brand
name drug ?
A: A generic drug is a medication for which the original
manufacturer has lost patent protection. Because of this ,
other manufacturers are allowed to produce and sell the exact
medication at a lower more
competitive price. The generic drug is the exact same medication
as the original brand name drug, simply made by another company.
Due to strict regulations on the generic drug industry, these
drugs must provide the same therapeutic effect as the brand
name drug.
Q:
Are generic drugs safe ?
A: Yes, Canadian generic drugs are just as safe and
effective as US generic drugs. Canada has a government agency
just like the FDA , that tightly monitors the safety and quality
of all drugs sold in Canada. Generic prescription drugs are
all manufactured in Canada by well respected companies and
are used by million of Canadian citizens on a daily basis.
Q:
What if I don't want generic substitution ?
A: On the prescription order form you may choose whether
or not generic substitution is acceptable for your prescription
drug order.
Q:
How much prescription medication can I purchase at one time
?
A: You may only order as much as your US doctor has
prescribed for you up to a maximum of three Months (100 days
supply). Due to regulations put into place by the FDA US citizens
are only allowed to import a maximum of three months supply
of prescription medication from Canadian pharmacies for personal
use. Any amount above this three month limit is not considered
"personal use".

to 10 days for delivery. Shipping can be delayed by heavy
mail volumes at some custom facilities .Please call us for

any narcotic or controlled substance across the border to
a US resident . Also we will not dispense any habit forming
prescription medications such as
Benzodiazepines.
Q:
What is Canadamednet's return policy ?
A: Canadian pharmacies are prohibited from using returned
prescription medications. The British Columbia College of

not accept the return for use or
re-use of a portion of any drug or non-prescription medication.
However, a credit or refund will be issued if an error by
the pharmacist results in a customer receiving drugs that
should not have been shipped.
Q:
Why are some prescription drug names different in Canada ?
A: These are brand or trade names registered by the
manufacturer. In different countries manufacturers will often
use different names. The medications have the same active
ingredients, but may look different and have a different trade
name. For example Losec (Canada) is a tablet and Prilosec
(USA) is a capsule
