How to Get the Best Prices on Your Prescription Medication
high drug prices
If there’s something everyone can agree on, it’s this:
No one wants to overpay on prescription medication prices.
Unfortunately, many United States citizens can’t afford to pay for their required prescription meds because of the rising cost of prescription medications. It can seem like American patients are at the mercy of an unchecked prescription drug industry, though – or that they have no choice other than to work within their insurance system and hope for the best.
Fortunately, there’s another way to get the medication you need at lower prices.
Buying prescription drugs online from Canadian pharmacies and international ones to find the best prices can result in steep savings. Here’s why:
International online pharmacies can source their medications from far and wide, allowing them to find deals on medications that they can pass on to their customers.
Even better, an online pharmacy puts the patient in control by giving them information about the lowest price prescription medications.
With just a few clicks, a patient can price-check many different prescription medication prices, so they can make the most informed decision possible about their finances and their care.
If you’re hoping to take advantage of price checking, we’re here to help. We’ve started by making your job as easy as possible! Here’s a list of quick price checks for some of the most popular prescription medications sold through our site.
Saving on Anti-Coagulant Drug Costs (up to 79%!)
Blood clots can be extremely dangerous. Anticoagulant drugs can help prevent the formation of blood clots and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis, acute coronary syndrome, and embolisms.
Since heart disease is extremely prevalent in America, drugs like Xarelto and Eliquis are lifesaving. They can also be expensive and hard to find, particularly for an affordable price.
- Cost of Eliquis (apixaban): In America, Eliquis retails for just under $300.00 for a 30-day supply, or about $10.00 per dose. By contrast, you can find brand-name Eliquis for $4.20 a pill (58% savings) at NorthWestPharmacy.com. We sell a 56-day supply for $239.00, allowing you to save money and time managing your medications!
- Cost of Xarelto (rivaroxaban): You may be able to find Xarelto in the United States for a very similar price: $296.00 for a 30-day supply, or just under $10.00 per pill. Here, we’re able to sell Xarelto in a 56-day supply for $119.00, or $2.10 per pill (79% savings).
- Cost of Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate): This anti-coagulant retails at $560.00 for a pack of 60 capsules in the United States. Compare that to the savings you may be able to unlock by purchasing through an online Canadian pharmacy: Here, we sell a 60-pack of Pradaxa for $176.00, or just under $3.00 per pill (68% savings).
Depending on your specific recommended dosage, you could spend over $3,500.00 per year on your anticoagulant medication. By taking the time to price-check online, you may be able to reduce that to a much more manageable sum.
Saving on Asthma and Respiratory Medication Costs – up to 91%
According to the United States Centers for Disease Control, over 25 million people in America suffer from asthma. As asthma is a disease that affects a patient’s airway, making it difficult (or even, terrifyingly, impossible) to breathe, easy access to affordable asthma medication that can provide instant relief is crucially important.
Unfortunately, because this medication is so valued and there is little competition among the most popular treatments, the prices for inhalers and asthma medications can be sky-high.
- Flovent HFA Inhaler (fluticasone) prices: Flovent HFA Inhalers are among the most pricey asthma medications in America. One inhaler can cost as much as $460.00 for 120 metered doses, which will last about one month. By sourcing your asthma medication online, you could instead purchase a Flovent HFA Inhaler with 120 doses for just $41.00 – a savings of 91%!
- Advair Diskus (or Advair Discus) (fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate) prices: Advair Diskus, a dry powder asthma medication, can be bought in the United States for $6.30 per dose (or about $380 for a month’s supply). At NorthWestPharmacy.com, we sell Advair Diskus for $1.25 per dose, or $75.00 per month (80% savings).
- Symbicort Turbuhaler (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dihydrate) prices: American patients who require the Symbicort Turbuhaler will need to pay $383.00 per month ($3.20 per dose) if they purchase it in the United States. Alternatively, you can purchase the Symbicort Turbuhaler at NorthWestPharmacy.com for $104.00 per month, or about $0.85 per dose (73% savings).
- Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone fuorate/umeclidinium/vilanterol trifenatate) prices: Trelegy Ellipta is an effective medication, but it comes at a steep price. The cash price for a one-month supply of Trelegy Ellipta in America is $665.00. For lower prices, you can turn to an online Canadian pharmacies. Here, we sell a one-month supply of Trelegy Ellipta for $140.00 (78% savings).
- Spiriva plus Device (tiotropium plus device) prices: Spiriva plus Device, or a dry powder asthma medication and an insulation device, retail for $536.00 (nearly $18.00 per dose!) for a one month supply in the United States. Checking the price at NorthWestPharmacy.com may lead you to steep savings. Here, we sell the same amount of Spiriva plus Device for just $110.00, or $3.60 per dose (80% savings).
Over a year of treatment, the most expensive inhaler costs close to $8,000.00. Performing a quick price-check yields pertinent and budget-saving information, however. Shopping online through an international or online Canadian pharmacy can save you as much as 91% on asthma prescription prices.
Saving on Diabetes Medications & Supply Costs – up to 77%!
Diabetes can be a scary, life-changing, and increasingly common diagnosis.
It’s also an extremely expensive condition to manage. Insulin, an often-required treatment for diabetics, is consistently one of the most expensive treatments out there. So are many of the other diabetes medications and supplies required to help these patients keep their blood sugar stable.
Here, we’ll just take a look at three of the most popular diabetes medications, aside from insulin:
- Ozempic (semaglutide) costs: Just one pen of Ozempic (or enough medication to last you for one week) will cost around $900.00 in the United States. At NorthWestPharmacy.com, we offer one pen of Ozempic for approximately $450.00 – half of its American retail price (50% savings).
- Jardiance (empagliflozin) costs: If you’re searching for brand-name Jardiance in America, you’ll need to be ready to pay $585.00 for a 30-day supply (or almost $20.00 per tablet). For the same brand-name drug at a fraction of the price, buy your medication through NorthWestPharmacy.com instead. We’re able to sell Jardiance for $4.30 per tablet, or $120.00 for a four-week supply (78% savings).
- Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) costs: In the United States, Januvia retails for about $537.00, or $18.00 per tablet. At NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can find the same medication for just $4.00 per tablet, or $110.00 for a four-week supply (77% savings).
If you’re purchasing Ozempic in the United States, your yearly cost for that medication alone could be over $46,000.00 – a truly mind-numbing cost.
Jardiance and Januvia, while less expensive, aren’t far behind. Price-checking alternatives could save you thousands of dollars over the course of the year.
Saving on Erectile Dysfunction Medications Costs – up to 96%!
Erectile dysfunction is far more common than you may think. Three in five men in the United States alone may experience this condition from time to time.
Whether it’s a short-term or long-term issue, erectile dysfunction can happen to anyone.
When it does, it’s comforting to know that there are many medications widely available to help treat this condition.
That said, the prescription medication prices associated with erectile dysfunction treatment are staggering.
- Saving on Cialis (tadalafil) costs: Cialis retails in the United States for about $86.00 – per pill. If that isn’t quite in your budget, you can buy Cialis for about $3.00 per pill at NorthWestPharmacy.com (96% savings). (We also sell small quantities of 5 pills or larger supplies of twenty-eight or more.)
- Saving on Viagra (sildenafil) costs: Viagra is also quite costly. In America, each dose of Viagra costs just under $100.00. Here, at NorthWestPharmacy.com, we sell brand-name Viagra in packs of 4 for about $75.00, or $18.00 per pill (82% savings), which is likely much more feasible.
- Saving on Levitra (vardenafil) costs: Levitra may be extremely hard to find in America. There is a generic equivalent, vardenafil, that is widely available, and many insurance companies will only cover the generic. If you require brand-name Levitra for any reason, you’re in luck: You’ll be able to source this medication through NorthWestPharmacy.com. Here, we sell brand-name Levitra in a pack of four tablets for about $80.00 – or $20.00 per tablet.
When you’re in need of erectile dysfunction treatment, it’s likely helpful to know that you don’t need to pay an exorbitant amount for each refill. Instead, you can buy your erectile dysfunction meds online, and save 80% or more.
Saving on Hormone Medications – up to 90%!
The way that hormones work together to support human health is extremely complex. Sometimes, that system needs a little help.
Women, in particular, go through seasons of their lives – from cycle issues to fertility treatments and menopause – where they can use hormonal therapies to feel a little healthier and happier on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, high prescription medication prices tend to limit access to these treatments.
Most people don’t know that you can save a LOT of money by purchasing your medication through a Canadian online prescription pharmacy. Here are a few examples:
- Saving on Estring (estradiol vaginal ring) prices: Estring is an innovative and popular device that can allow patients a more hands-off way to treat hormonal imbalances. However, the convenience comes at a high cost. One Estring device retails for $550.00, or $184.00 per month. At NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can buy the Estring device for $108.00, or $36.00 per month (80% savings).
- Saving on Premarin (conjugated estrogens) CES prices: In the United States, you can find a one-month supply of Premarin for about $240.00 per month – or about $8.00 per capsule. Here, we’re able to sell a four-week (28-day) supply of Premarin for only $28.00, or about one dollar per capsule (87% savings).
- Vagifem (estradiol) cost: Vagifem comes in a starter-month supply of 18 tablets, as it is a type of hormonal medication that patients take in specific timed doses. In the United States, that starter pack costs $450.00, or about $25.00 per dose. If you purchase Vagifem through NorthWestPharmacy.com instead, you’ll pay $72.00 for an 18-tablet starter pack, or $4.00 per dose (84% savings).
- Vivelle Dot (called Estradot in Canada) (estradiol-17b) cost: The Vivelle Dot, a popular transdermal system of estradiol therapy, can be tricky to find in the United States. Instead, you’ll likely purchase the generic, which is widely available, for about $90.00 per month. Whether you need the brand name medication or would prefer lower prices, you’ll find both at NorthWestPharmacy.com. Here, we sell a four-week supply of the Vivelle Dot for $45.00 (50% savings).
- Estrogel (estradiol-17b) cost: As generic estradiol is relatively easy to find in America, it may be difficult to find and purchase Estrogel. The generic itself is also expensive, costing about $286.00 for a 40-day supply, or $7.15 per dose. At NorthWestPharmacy.com, we sell a 64-day supply of brand-name Estrogel for $42.00, or $0.65 per dose (90% savings).
If you require any of these treatments, you may find that their retail price in America is out of your budget. We’re proud to be able to offer reliable, affordable prescription medications to American patients – along with savings of up to 90 percent.
Find the Best Prices for Prescription Medications at an Online Canadian Pharmacy
