The Ultimate Proof That Licensed Canadian Pharmacies Are Safe
For some time now, Big Pharma and the front groups that represent it in return for cash, including the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, have been spreading disinformation about Canadian pharmacies. They’ve been trying to link legitimate drugstores, licensed and in good standing with the Canadian government, with illegal rogue pharmacy operations that claim to be Canadian, but which are actually based in places like Russia.
The purpose of Canadian Online Pharmacies is to help you separate the legitimate, licensed pharmacies — no different from your own corner drugstore, except for the prices — from those scary rogue operations. Only licensed Canadian pharmacies are permitted into our network.
Unfortunately, because of the scare tactics of Big Pharma and its PR machine, some prospective customers contact us, asking if even licensed Canadian pharmacies are really safe.
To answer that, here are excerpts from an article that Big Pharma simply can’t refute. Facts, after all, are facts:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials can’t name a single American who’s been injured or killed by drugs bought from licensed Canadian pharmacies. [And] Health Canada, which regulates Canada’s prescription industry, “does not have any information that would indicate that any Americans have become ill or have died as a result of taking prescription medications purchased from Canada,” said Jirina Vlk, a spokeswoman…
A recent report by the Congressional Research Service supports the safety of drugs from Canada. It found that medications manufactured and distributed in Canada meet or surpass quality control guidelines set by the FDA. The service is the Library of Congress source that Congress turns to for objective information.
“There’s no question in my mind that the (FDA) is too dependent on the pharmaceutical industry for their attitudes and decision-making,” said Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., who [has studied] the Canadian drug issue. “I had four hearings and I asked (the FDA) to give me examples where people have been damaged by Canadian pharmaceuticals and reimportation, and he couldn’t even give me one, not one.”
For all the hyperventilating of Big Pharma as it tries to protect its outrageous profits, the drug industry can’t show one person harmed by a legitimate Canadian drugstore.
That’s the ultimate proof that licensed Canadian pharmacies, like those in the Canadian Online Pharmacies network, are safe.

It’s by virtue of a Canadian law that authorizes a review board to order a price reduction whenever the price of a drug exceeds the median of the prices in six European countries plus the United States.
