Canadian Pharmacy Online Sites Face Pressure to Increase Canadian Drugs Prices for Americans

(Vocus/PRWEB) April 15, 2011

Canadian online pharmacy retailer NorthWestPharmacy.com says it is getting harder for Canadian pharmacies to keep online Canadian drugs prices as low as they currently are due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar.

“NorthWestPharmacy.com’s Canadian drugs are priced in American dollars for the convenience of its valued American patients but the wholesale price for Canadian online pharmacies to acquire those Canadian drugs is in Canadian dollars,” says Mike Bhangu, a manager at the Canadian online pharmacy’s call center. With one Canadian dollar currently worth nearly five U.S. cents more than one American dollar, there is concern that all legitimate Canadian online pharmacies will be forced to increase the price of Canadian online drugs.

But Mr. Bhangu assures patients that NorthWestPharmacy.com has told him that it will remain a low price leader and is doing all it can to maintain existing Canadian drug prices. “They are cutting costs in other areas that won’t affect customer service or product quality which we hope will help hold the line on Canadian pharmacy drugs prices and keep many current online drugs prices 85% lower than American pharmacy prices,” he concludes.

NorthWestPharmacy.com is proud to be dubbed “America’s Canadian pharmacy” by several hundred thousand patients in the United States. Independently 5 star rated by more than 15,000 Canadian online pharmacies customers through a respected online ratings firm known as Shopper Approved, NorthWestPharmacy.com is the only Canadian pharmacy online to be awarded Shopper Approved 5 star seal. Prospective customers can read these genuine NorthWestPharmacy.com reviews by visiting the Canadian pharmacy reviews page on its website. All purchases through this Canadian pharmacy’s online drugs website are guaranteed by buySAFE which is underwritten by some of the nation’s largest insurance companies. NorthWestPharmacy.com is a TRUSTe privacy certified merchant and its Canadian online pharmacy website is certified by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association. A prescription written by the patient’s own American doctor is required for all Canadian drugs and international medicines which would require a prescription if they were purchased in the USA. For safety reasons, NorthWestPharmacy.com strongly recommends that consumers avoid “online pharmacies” offering what they claim to be “Canadian drugs” online without a prescription.
