Canadian Resources to Consider
In order to get your medications
from Canada, you must do the following:
- Get your
prescriptions from your U.S. doctor;
- Call a Canadian
pharmacy OR go online to compare prices and check the
availability of the medications you need. CCJ has worked
with the following pharmacies
- Kohlers pharmacy
in the past located in Hamilton (about 45 minutes from
Niagara Falls which is good for people living in Western
Pennsylvania). Their number is 1-905-527-1716 or toll free
at
1-888-423-9444.
-
Hunt's Pharmacy in
Kingston, Ontario. This is more convenient for those living
in Eastern Pennsylvania. Their number is
1-613-548-7200.Online resources
for prescription medications:
When you call or
place orders online, there are specific procedures you will
need to follow. The details are nicely spelled out at
the above sites. Prices should include a Canadian
physician's review of the prescription and the pharmacy
dispensing fee. The only additional cost is usually
shipping and handling which can run from $8.00 to $13.00 (U.S.) per
shipment, not per prescription.
Seniors belonging to
Alliance for Retired Americans or Action Alliance of Senior
Citizens of Greater Philadelphia have an arrangement with
Scriptsense. So check their websites for updates.
