Why do you choose a Pharmacy online?

I have been looking at online pharmacies for sometime now, and I am always curious what is there to make you choose which one you will use?

Price? Are you looking for the quality drug at the lowest price? Well when I think of medicine I think of how much money it will cost me. In Canada I find that prescriptions are not as impossible to get for a reasonable price if you have the right benefits from your work and or your partner. Is it wiser to just get the prescriptions you need right online? No fuss, and no muss.

Convenience? I think this is the most important reason why people turn to the Internet. If you were limited with your mobility, how convenient would it be to just order online? The beauty of actually going up to your computer and while having your prescription you type in a few numbers and letters and Voila! Your required medicine in on the way and depending on the online pharmacy you use you, delivery could take up to 6 weeks.

Opportunity? The opportunity to have an option of choosing a generic brand of medicine with the same active ingredients as the name brand but are 20 - 40% cheaper than name brands. This I think is what the main attraction is to the online pharmacy. The option of more than one choice, just like any industry there should be options when choosing the brand of


medication you are choosing.

The next and always most difficult question is how do you choose? Well the choice is almost unlimited but like with any online purchasing asking questions and finding out how legitimate they really are? All online prescriptions should require a prescription from your doctor. Is there someone you can talk to live, just like you could if you had walked in to a pharmacy? Is the pharmacy that the site is working with a registered?

The whole concept of the online pharmacy is to have all the same ideology of a walk in pharmacy but with the convenience of never leaving the comfort of your own home. Make sure you ask these questions before you go ahead with any transactions.

Many Online pharmacies offer the choice, best pricing, and most convenience of having your prescription drugs delivered right to your door. Which would you prefer? Ultimately the choice is up to the individual. For me I'm going to try my hand at the latest fad and order online and see what this adventure into the future of pharmacies is going.
