How much medication can you supply at once?

We can fill and ship a maximum of 3-month supply at a time to the United States for every prescription medication. If your prescription exceeds this supply, we can provide refills when they are due.

Patients living in countries outside of the USA may be able to obtain larger volumes, such as a one-year supply, to be shipped. However, to ensure the medication will last that period, we will need to verify the expiry date of the lot being shipped. Please contact us for more information.

I am on five different medications, and you don’t seem to list them all. Can you ship them?

If one of the medications you are looking for is not available, we will add your information request to our Unavailable Drug List. We can check with our pharmacy partners to determine if they are able to ship the product and will contact you if it becomes available. We do carry most brand name and generic medications.

Product Questions

Why do some Canadian drugs have different names?

Manufacturers register trade or brand names for their products in each country. Often the drug manufacturer will use different trade names in different countries. The medication itself may look the same and have the same medicinal ingredient, but the brand name associated with it may be different. For example, Farxiga (U.S.) and Forxiga (Canada), or Zetia (U.S.) and Ezetrol (Canada).

Are all drugs less expensive in Canada?

The majority of medications from Canada are less costly than in the US. However, not all products from Canada are less expensive.

What are generics?

Generic medications contain the same active ingredients and strengths of the name-brand products but will differ in their shape colour size markings and non-active fillers or excipients. We have carefully selected these generic products to ensure you're purchasing only the highest quality medications. By choosing to buy a generic product you are not buying an inferior medication; rather, you are simply choosing to save money on a product that has the same therapeutic effect to the name brand equivalent. So many of our customers are taking advantage of these quality products that some of the generics we offer are now more popular and the brand name items. If you'd like more information on these products, please don't hesitate to contact us.

What is the difference between a generic medication and a brand name medication?

Generic and brand-name medications are therapeutically equivalent. They contain the same active ingredients and concentrations. They may be different in color, size, shape, and non-active fillers.

What is a parallel import medication?

Parallel imported pharmaceuticals our original brand-named medicines being sold to a specific country. The wholesalers in these countries can purchase these brand name products and sell them to other countries such as the UK. Because some countries can purchase brand name medication at less of a cost compared to the UK, these countries are able to sell these products to the UK and these products are made available buy specialized wholesalers in the UK. For example, a brand name product in Italy, with Italian language labelling, can be sold to the UK, and this product must be re-labeled in English in order to be made available for sale in England. The re labeling process is strictly regulated and this means these products may have a foreign language on them in addition to the English language relabelled on these products.

Canada Online Health does not sell any products that are considered controlled substances or narcotics. We also do not carry medications that have the potential to be drugs of abuse.

India is the largest provider of generic drugs globally. Many of the generic medications found for sale in the USA and in Canada have been manufactured in India. In fact, Indian pharmaceutical companies supply over 40% of generic demand in the United States. Indian exports meet the standards and requirements of highly regulated markets of USA, UK, European Union and Canada. Companies like Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy’s, and Cipla, just to name a few, are well established manufacturers located in India and are known around the globe.
