Ordering Canadian Drugs Is A Front-End Loaded Process
Shopping around for cheaper prescription medication? Canadian drugs are an excellent choice - if you don't
need them tomorrow
, or the next two weeks for that matter. Why does it take so long, especially when you can order from a Canadian online pharmacy?
Well, that's what we're here to discuss. Although Canadian pharmacies can offer Canadian drugs through an Internet web site, the first time order process is not online-real-time, as you would imagine. The web site is used as a place to show you the Canadian drugs price list, provide a shopping cart to add up your total cost, and act as a forms distribution house for the real method by which your order will be fulfilled.
Typically, the forms contain a medical questionnaire that must be signed and witnessed, and a consent form. If you can download the forms package you will save yourself up to one extra weeks wait because if you cannot, you have to wait until you receive those forms in the mail.
When completed, the forms can be faxed, toll-free, back (or once again mailed) along with your doctor's prescription to be reviewed by a Canadian doctor in accordance with Canadian law. The order cannot be completed until this information is received and reviewed.
Some Canadian online pharmacies will allow you to call a toll free number for your order and speak to one of their customer service representatives. In this way, the information can be collected, but a
prescription
still has to be sent in order to complete the transaction for your Canadian drugs (or some combination of telephone info/forms exchange). For Canadian drugs orders, it is advisable to order your drugs at least 30 days prior to needing them
Fortunately, this somewhat tedious process is only required for first-time orders. After that, you may be required to update your file once a year, and the
refill process
is much simpler.
