Generally, Canadian pharmacies offer lower prices for Cialis and Viagra than many US pharmacies. This price difference stems from different regulatory frameworks and manufacturing costs. Expect to save 30-70% depending on the specific medication, dosage, and pharmacy.
However, be cautious: significant price variations exist *within* Canadian pharmacies themselves. Always compare prices from multiple reputable sources before purchasing. Look for licensed pharmacies with clear contact information and customer reviews.
Don’t automatically assume the cheapest option is the best. Prioritize licensed pharmacies to minimize risks of counterfeit medications. Counterfeit drugs can be ineffective or even harmful. Secure websites with SSL encryption (look for “https” in the address bar) are also crucial for protecting your personal and financial data.
For comparison, prices from online pharmacies outside Canada may seem lower initially. However, these often involve hidden fees, longer shipping times, and increased risk of receiving substandard or fake medications. Consider the total cost, including shipping and potential import duties, when comparing.
International online pharmacies are not subject to the same regulatory oversight as Canadian pharmacies, therefore carry more significant risks. It is recommended to prioritize purchasing from licensed Canadian pharmacies for both price and safety reasons.
Before ordering, check if your insurance covers any portion of the cost. This can further reduce the expense and make the price difference even more significant compared to purchasing without coverage.
