Canadian mail order pharmacy has become another means to reach out to the US customer in need of cheaper medication. The business is growing and attracting new customers daily. Many Internet sites have sprung up as intermediaries for transacting drug business between users and pharmacies in Canada and outside.

As is the case with online pharmacy, these sites also offer drugs for purchase at rates that can compete with the best offered in the US. These firms offer a mix consisting of both brand name and generic prescription medications. Most sites claim to offer up to 3,000 prescription and non-prescription medications and savings of up to 80% as compared to US retail prices.

Mail order pharmacy is also fast catching up among US customers. In this case also, most of the intermediaries and the original pharmacies do not require a valid prescription by a doctor either in US or Canada. In fact you just have to name the drug and it is yours. Some of them are offering a catalog, which allows customers to choose import of drugs from other countries, which are even cheaper. Comparative prices of the requisite drug in at least five countries are listed and these firms even assist the customer in making his purchase decision.

All these services can be accessed from the comfort of ones home. The competitive pricing strategy coupled with the range of services offered has raked in millions of dollars for the Canadian pharmacy companies. Unless Canada regulates the business or the prices of drugs goes up in that country, the demand for mail order drugs will only increase.
