Many Americans are by being placed in an incredibly difficult position due to the price of prescription drugs in the United States. Because of this, Americans are turning to one of the only safe solutions available to them, importing their medication from Canada. This is a very contentious issue between the pharmaceutical companies, politicians, regulators and the public.

There are very good arguments for both sides but what is at risk during this controversy is the health and lives of million's of Americans.

The risk is not from the professionalism or the quality of product that can be provided by Total Care Pharmacy or other reputable and accredited pharmacies in Canada. The risk to Americans is going without their medication simply because they cannot afford it under the current U.S. system.

Total Care Pharmacy only wants to help find a solution while we provide a solution.

It’s well documented. Americans pay the highest prices for prescriptions drugs in the world. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for the elderly and/or those without prescription drug coverage to afford their medications.

The US Government and FDA have recognized the problem of access to affordable drugs and have maintained a policy of allowing individuals to import prescription drugs for compassionate use.

This “Personal Use” policy was intended to help Americans who faced quality of life issues due to life threatening diseases and their inability to afford prescription drugs under the U.S system. The policy currently allows Americans to import a 90-day personal supply of prescription medication. The policy is not law but recognizes the right of every American to have access to affordable and safe prescription medication.

We also believe in that policy and we are in the fortunate position to provide an interim solution as we work with the governments, consumer associations and industry groups to find a permanent solution.

Safe, affordable drugs should be within reach of everyone, physically and financially. Total Care Pharmacy is making that possible and for many Americans has become a “Miracle Cure” for an ailing system.

Through our web site and online pharmacy we hope to educate, enlighten, argue and advocate the right to safe, affordable drugs for all Americans.
