May 20th, 2011ArticlesSince 1999, Mediplan Pharmacy and its subsidiary RxNorth, has delivered more than1 million prescriptions to consumers in the USA without experiencing a single incident of any patient receiving unsatisfactory medication as prescribed by a U.S. doctor and delivered by our pharmacy. This outstanding service record has earned Mediplan the distinction of being Canada’s largest and most respected mail order pharmacy.
Currently, Mediplan has served more than 150,000 customers, mostly seniors, in the United States who buy long term prescription medication on a regular basis, spending more than 100 million U.S. dollars a year with Mediplan.
The customers in the United States, referred to as patients, buy from Canada because the prices are much less expensive, (30-80% less) for the exact same medication.
The average first order is $275.00, with a refill every 90 days. The average family saves $800 to $1,000 a year buying from Mediplan, with many families saving $3,000 a year, or more.
No need to drive to CanadaFor many years, senior citizens in the USA who live close to the border either drove across, or took bus trips to Canada to buy their medication at a discount. Now, low priced prescription medication is available to everyone in the USA through the mail, from regulated, reliable Canadian mail order pharmacies such as Mediplan.
A controversial topicBuying prescription medication from Canada is a controversial and passionate topic. The pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. do not like it because it hurts their profit in the U.S., where seniors pay the highest drug prices in the world. But for millions of seniors with no prescription coverage there is no other option. They either buy medications from Canada where the prices are much lower because of government regulation, or they may not be able to afford the important long term medication that may be needed to save their life.
Access to affordable medication in the USA is a serious, long term problem with no easy solution in sight. MediCare reform and various programs initiated by the USA government to help senior citizens (and others) bring little or no relief at this point in time.
This topic “hits close to home.” All of us have friends or family members who take medication for many ailments, and may not have any insurance or drug coverage to pay for it.
