The Truth About What the American Pharmaceutical Industry Does Not Want You to
Know

As pointed out by *Jack Shapiro, an internationally-known
healthcare marketing consultant "For the first nine months of
this year, the U.S. imported $40 billion in pharmaceuticals and
exported only $21 billion. In 2003, we imported $50 billion and
exported $23 billion." So what makes buying from your local U.S.
based pharmacy any safer then purchasing from Mexico or Canada?

Many of today's elderly (U.S.) cross the borders of Mexico and
Canada in order to get their prescriptions filled at a huge
discount. For some it has become a necessity because they
simply can't afford necessary drug treatments any other way.

But what about those who don't live near the borders; how can
they take advantage of these savings? Fact is there are a lot
of prescription drugs that can be purchased online from
international locations for a fraction of the cost people
pay here in the United States. A good example of this is
RXMex.org where many of today's best known brand drugs
can be found such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Zocor, Zoloft,
Propecia and more. However they not only offer name brand
drugs at sharp discounts they also give seniors the opportunity
to buy generic versions of most of these name brand drugs for
savings that can reach up to 80% less then their name brand
counterparts!

When a drug company first invents a drug (eg. Prozac) that
company is the only one allowed to make that drug for a certain
number of years (approximately 10 years in the US). After this
time period, other companies are allowed to make the same drug.
These drugs are called generics. The original drug (eg. Prozac)
is called a brand name drug. Brand name drugs and their generics
are IDENTICAL in terms of active ingredients. The generic pills
may look different (because they are made by a different company)
but inside is exactly the same active ingredient which works in
exactly the same way. The only difference between brand name
drugs and generic drugs is that generics are always less
expensive.

Most all drugs found at http://www.rxmex.org require a
prescription so this licensed pharmacy can fill most orders by
having the purchaser fax them their prescription and the shipped
order can be tracked online. Another benefit to ordering this
way is that there is no tax to be paid and orders are shipped
internationally.

While some headway has been made in the last year or so in
regards to reducing prescription drug costs for seniors, for
now it's simply not enough for so many of our elderly. With
the political clout of today's drug companies who converge on
Washington D.C. like vultures I'm not sure the costs will ever
get to the point where it should be. Until then places like
http://www.rxmex.org with their name brand and generic low cost
versions of many prescription drugs will continue to be another
excellent low cost source for today's seniors.
