5 Best Online Pharmacies for Buying Prescription Medications

Online shopping has seen a huge surge recently and that has included pharmacies and the purchasing of healthcare items and medications. A Canadian online pharmacy offers the same thing a physical pharmacy can offer. But there are also additional benefits such as saving money, speed and convenience, privacy and safety from sick people in stores. Avoid long lines and enjoy direct shipping to your home! There are a lot of options so here are 5 of them.

HealthWarehouse

This site does not charge membership fees and offers medications for both humans and pets as long as you have a prescription. You can save money on the cost of the meds and they offer free shipping of between one to five days. The price savings you get are because it is cutting out the middleman between you and the manufacturers. 

Express Scripts

To use this site you do have to be a part of their benefits coverage either with your employer or with certain health plans. It has access to more than 70,000 pharmacies and offers free shipping and overnight shipping if needed. You can contact someone 24/7 if you need to talk and they offer personal suggestions on helping you save money on your meds. Delivery takes up to six days and it has automatic refills.

Birdi

This online pharmacy is flexible, with no membership fees and medications with discounted pricing. It also will allow most insurance plans as well as simple prescription transfers and free delivery. If you are one of the people who do not have insurance they will still offer those low prices on certain meds as they wish to ensure people have access to affordable medication. If you or someone in your family has a chronic health concern that requires ongoing treatment they have a team that will help with a treatment plan, and give you access to service after hours.

Amazon Pharmacy

Amazon is not just a great place to shop for all kinds of things, you can also get your medications for a more affordable price. If you are a Prime member you do not have to pay membership and even without insurance you can expect savings as high as 80%. For non-Prime the standard delivery is free and for Prime members, you get a free two-day delivery. Amazon is applying to also become a Canadian online pharmacy. You can get refills from 30 days and as high as 6 months and there is a pharmacist available 24/7. It is also more upfront about pricing allowing everyone to see the prices whether you have insurance or not, and whether you are a Prime member or not.

BlinkRx

This is an interesting option as it offers online doctor appointments for certain conditions. There is no membership fee and while it does offer lower prices for medications, it is specific ones, but they number more than 15,000. Certain medications also qualify for free delivery. You can choose that home delivery option or you can choose to pick up if you live close to one of their partnered pharmacies, of which there are 35,000.
