How You Benefit from Importation
You probably already know that everyone from President Obama to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) agrees that importation is a safe and affordable alternative. Many Americans have switched to this method of obtaining their prescription medications. So, you may wonder why, if you are just now learning about this trend, people have not been shouting it from the rooftops.
There are a couple of reasons. First, big pharmaceutical companies are paying good money to make sure you don't find out. They know that when you learn of all the benefits you could experience purchasing imported prescriptions, they will start losing a significant portion of their market share. And, since pharmaceuticals ranked as the second most profitable industry in 2008, you can understand why they would want to prevent this from happening. To protect their turf, these giants utilize the services of lobbyists to influence Congress, which has, in turn, passed a number of regulations that help ensure this news remains a secret:
- ver-protecting pharmaceutical patents both within the United States and abroad
- Preventing the passing of laws that would limit direct advertising by these foreign pharmaceutical companies to consumers
- Blocking the importation of inexpensive drugs from other countries

Another reason is that your doctor and pharmacist are not allowed to tell you this option exists. Plain and simple. Thankfully, we can tell you about it. So, following are the primary benefits you can leverage simply by switching your purchasing habit from local pharmacy to mail order/online pharmacy.
Cost Savings
Cost is of course going to grab your attention fast because something we all want to do is save money without sacrificing quality. That is exactly what you are able to do with importation. The savings aren't scrimpy either. Let's look at a real-life example:
Actos is a medication prescribed to those who suffer from Type 2 Diabetes. In the U.S., each tablet costs approximately $8. This is the equivalent of $2,920 annually just for this one prescription. The same medication in its generic form could be imported, however, for only $0.99 per tablet or $361.35 annually?a savings of $2,559 a year.
Convenient Delivery
Another great thing about mail order and online ordering is that your prescription medications are delivered right to your home, saving you valuable time and effort. No longer do you have to include the pharmacy in your list of errands sitting it an incessantly long line waiting for ho-hum service. You also won't have any last minute "uh-ohs" of letting your prescription run out and having to rush to get it filled. With mail/online ordering, it is recommended you order a three month supply at a time and you can reorder again whenever it's convenient for you.
Replacement Anytime/Anywhere
Let's say you are on vacation in Peru. You've just arrived and realized you forgot to pack your asthma medication. If you're using your local pharmacy back home, then probably the best solution you're going to find is having a friend back home go into your house, get it and overnight it to you. Using mail/online ordering, however, you can receive your medications wherever in the world you may be. No panicking, no inconvenience. With importation, there is no reason to ever go without your medication.
Customer Service
Next to price, the majority of consumers say that customer service is a priority when choosing which companies to patron. However, when it comes to your medical needs, if the transaction doesn't make you comfortable and that you are cared for, then the savings just won't matter as much. A major benefit to working with a mail/online ordering pharmacy should be the customer service you receive that goes above and beyond that you would find at your local pharmacy. Talking with a live, intelligible human who is also a pharmacist who cares about your wellbeing may sound too good to be true, but it is available; and that connection should be made in seconds, not minutes. We're not saying that every mail/online pharmacy is going to provide this benefit, but it should e on your list of requirements when deciding which company to give your business.
