Recent news coverage has focused on the Canadian pharmacy, and how Americans can often purchase prescription medications for less, compared to prices in the United States. News reports have shown there are a variety of reasons for this difference in pricing, including Canada's shorter patent life, and the Canadian government's legislation on limiting the prices of medications to increase availability.

If you are considering importing medications from a pharmacy in Canada, be sure to check around for one that is licensed and regulated by the Canadian government. Unfortunately, as the number of patients purchasing from a Canada pharmacy have increased, so too have a number of online s cams designed to separate customers from their money.
