How do I know when to purchase drugs through Canadian mail order, through U.S. mail order, or from my local drug store?

Your local drug store is in the best position to provide you with short-term prescriptions that you need for less than three months. Mail order may offer you greater savings and convenience for any prescription that is for three months or longer, such as a maintenance medication. If your doctor is willing to provide a three-month prescription, check the Canadian drug list to determine whether you can obtain it there free of cost for you. If the medication is not on that list, consider using the U. S. mail order pharmacy to take advantage of getting a three-month supply for only two co-payments.  more
