Critical Information you must know about Crestor and Generics:
Let us share some with you, critical information about generic Crestor being sold from India, and what you need to know about ordering from an online pharmacy.

Rosuvastatin is the universal trade reference name assigned to the active ingredient contained in Crestor, a registered brand name marketed by pharmaceutical company: Astra Zeneca.

This important medication Rosuvastatin, commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and lower cholestrol has been selling in Indian market for almost 10 years now under its generic name.

Crestor and Generic availability:
Universally issued patents will expire at different times. Once a patent expires or is denied, the market is open to pharmaceutical companies to manufacture the generic for brand Crestor.

Until very recently, because India knew their people required life saving medications, yet could not afford prices brand name manufactures in the USA were demanding, India declined to offer medicine patent protection. Thus, many products that are brand name only in the USA have an equivalent generic product readily available from India.

Smartly, India recognized that a medication is only of value if you can afford to take it.

Generally, the USA enforces patent protection longer then other G20 countries including Canada. What that means is, Americans continue to pay among the highest prices in the world for their medications. In fact: Prescription drugs are the fastest growing expenditure in the U.S. health market.

• From 1997 to 2007, prescription drug prices have grown at more than 250% the rate of inflation.
• That means drug prices have increased at an average of 6.9% every year since 1997.
• What used to cost you $35.72 now costs $69.91.

This means, while still under patent protection in the USA, if you choose to buy brand Crestor you will be stuck paying sky high prices at your neighboring pharmacy. We went shopping online and found Target sells a 3 month supply of Crestor for $400.

SMART ALTERNATIVE:
We congratulate you on being smart and deciding to look for an affordable and equivalent generic version of this product internationally. Among all international markets, India is the best country to buy low cost & high quality generics. Consider 2 important facts about the Indian pharmaceutical market.

• One, almost 60% of all generic products being sold in the US are already made by Indian pharmaceutical companies.
• Two, the government of India controls the prices of pharmaceuticals thereby making it very affordable for local Indians to buy these products.

Now, Buck A Day Pharmacy bring India pricing to your door so you to have the opportunity to buy at these same prices.

How do you choose your overseas pharmacy:
We know that you have either probably thought of buying medications online or know someone who has actually bought online through most likely a Canadian mail order pharmacy. Let us share some facts about buying generic Crestor from India.

If you google "buy generic Crestor online" you will get almost 1.1 million search results.

That's a crazy amount of information to consider.

At www.BuckADayPharmacy.com we decided to simplify and demystify the process by educating and being transparent about our products and the process.

We are sure that if you have spoken to a Canadian mail order pharmacy or have ordered the generic for Crestor in the past you have probably received a product made in India. (though does it make sense to go through a Canadian Pharmacy to get your India product?). The important question here is who or which manufacturers product have you been buying. At last count there were more than 50 manufacturers and sellers of generic Crestor in India. Not all 50 manufacturers supply or sell in the US markets because they do not meet the very high quality standards required to do so.

At buckadaypharmacy we will only dispense products that we as pharmacists and owners are comfortable using and giving to our own family members. So we select products from only top-drawer manufacturers, the ones who have US FDA approved manufacturing facilities and are selling some or many of their products into the USA.

For Crestor 20 mg generic we have decided to sell the product manufactured and sold by Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd (www.ranbaxy.com) in India. Ranbaxy is the largest pharmaceutical company in India and is owned by the Japanese pharmaceutical company, Dai Ichi Sankyo. Ranbaxy has 5 FDA approved manufacturing facilities in India.

Ranbaxy's generic for Crestor is sold under the name of Rosuvas in India. This is the number 2 selling Rosuvastatin in India. We have enclosed a picture of the packaging below. We do this because we want our consumers to see exactly what they are buying before it arrives in their mailbox. No bait and switch here you get exactly what your ordered.

Safety in knowing you received the right product. By seeing what you are ordering before it arrives you can verify you received the right product dispensed from the pharmacy, just incase an error occurs. Otherwise, without seeing what it is suppose to be, how do you know the pharmacy sent you the correct product?

How much does it cost in India?
We believe everyone in business deserves to make a profit. We also know that internationally mail order carries with it considerable overhead when compared to local delivery. However, we also believe in educating our consumers and informing them on how much we sell these products to Indians and tourists who pick up locally because in today's information age smoke and mirrors don't work. There is no secret to how much someone in India would pay just look at the package. The Indian government has set the MRP = Maximum Retail Price

We would like you to draw your attention to something that is printed on the packaging. It mentions MRP = retail price 266. This means that a blister of 10 tablets costs Rupees =Rs. 266 to buy in India. So, if you want to buy a 90-day supply in India you would have to buy 9 blisters of 10 tablets, which would end up costing an Indian consumer Rs. 2400 for a 90 day supply. Using an approximate currency conversion rate of US$1= Rs. 45 an Indian customer pays an amount equivalent to about US$53. What $53!!! That's it? Yes that's it. Mind you this is the top-drawer version from Ranbaxy. There are companies that sell a 90-day supply for $20 but we would not consume those in our household and these companies don't have US FDA approved manufacturing facilities.

Don't pay too much. Now that you have some information, be a smart shopper and see what other online pharmacies including those from Canada are charging for Indian products. Any middleman, including Canadian mail order pharmacies, who understand the Indian market as well as you do, is probably paying no more then a local Indian to buy this product. And how much do they want you to pay for generic Crestor? Our research shows, that Canadian online pharmacies have typically charged between $250 up to $300 for a 90 day supply of generic Crestor and generally will not show you what your are buying or be transparent on the details. This is not profit this is profiteering. And you thought only the pharmaceutical company was ripping you off!!

If infact they have begun to lower their prices and become transparent you can thank us.

At Buck A Day Pharmacy we are committed to you, the customer, that we will only charge a daily maximum service fee of 40 cents above MRP for any product. Which means you will safely get effective high quality product at great prices.

One last word. There are pharmacies that promise that they will match any competitor price. But this is after the fact, that you and we have exposed them. Would you rather buy from a pharmacy that has profiteered from you by keeping you ignorant or from a pharmacy that has been transparent about product, pricing and profits? We leave the decision to you, our client.

Thank you for considering buying from www.buckadaypharmacy.com where our commitment is that in most cases our consumers will never pay more then a dollar a day for their medications.
