Canadian pharmacy customer support
There are no restrictions on the number of prescriptions
you can order - only on the quantity of each prescription.
This is an important key to understanding shipments from Canadian
pharmacies.
Canadian pharmacies are allowed by US Customs to mail you
UP TO a 90-day supply of your prescription medications in
any given shipment. The 90-day supply is determined by the
doctor's directions on the actual prescription and NOT
based on the dispensing number. For instance, if
your doctor has prescribed you 1 tablet per day of cholesterol
medication, we will only be allowed to send you 90 days of
that particular medication in any given shipment.
Our Canadian licensed doctors will review your prescriptions
and then "co-sign" your original prescription in
order for it to be filled at our Canadian pharmacies. Our
physicians also "co-sign" any refills which your
doctor has indicated on the prescription. Most of our patients
ask their doctors to have prescriptions written for 1 year,
or three refills.
This makes the process of refilling a simple 5 minute phone call.
Remember, the 90-day supply is for each particular medication.
If you are currently taking two medications regularly, then
we will be allowed to ship both of the medications in 90-day
quantities only. The restrictions are only based on the quantity
of each medication and not the total number of medications
an individual is taking.
Interesting facts about prescriptions
Each prescription written by your doctor includes the following
information:
- How many tablets you are taking per day (doctor's directions)
- How many tablets to dispense during each refill known
as the dispense quantity
- Number of refills
Check with your doctor to see that he/she has indicated each
of these three important quantities on your prescription.
Some doctors may forget to explicitly indicate the number
of refills your prescription is valid for. In this case, your
prescription will be signed as valid for one fill and zero
refills.
