CandaDrugs.com, and other sites it owns (e.g. JanDrugs.com) have stopped selling meds to patients in the U.S. in accordance with an agreement with the U.S. Attorney in Montana. Several stories in the media are reporting that the reason is that patients bought counterfeit drugs from the online pharmacy, but that’s simply untrue.

CanadaDrugs.com was a very well-run, safe, international online pharmacy. It was forced by the U.S. government to stop helping Americans afford prescription drugs because the pharmaceutical industry wanted that outcome.

CanadaDrugs.com had been a verified member of the PharmacyChecker Verification Program since 2005. During that time, it likely processed millions of prescriptions and filled them from licensed pharmacies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. We have verified the licenses of these pharmacies. CanadaDrugs.com voluntarily withdrew from our program in March, aware of the pending deal with the U.S. government.

This case does not apply to all Canadian online pharmacies. For future medication orders, patients can consult our list of current PharmacyChecker verified international online pharmacies.

Also look up your medication by name to compare prices across verified international online pharmacies.
