"PharmacyChecker.com provides price information from legitimate online Canadian pharmacies. You will find that those shipping exclusively from Canada are pricier but still substantially less expensive than brand-name U.S. prescriptions."

“The FDA continues to ask for more and more taxpayer money to stop fentanyl and opioids at international mail facilities, but it appears to be using that money to refuse and destroy an increasing number of regular international prescription drug orders,” said Gabe Levitt, president of PharmacyChecker.com, which accredits foreign online pharmacies that sell medicines to customers in the U.S. and worldwide. “The argument that importing drugs is going to inflame the opioid crisis doesn’t make any sense.”

The People's Pharmacy states that they "frequently turn to PharmacyChecker.com to find out what pharmaceuticals cost from Canadian online pharmacies or international online pharmacies."

"PharmacyChecker.com lists prices from approved Canadian partners. For a three-month supply of brand name Trelegy, prices range from $77 to $523. The price differs depending upon where the medicine is shipped from. If it comes directly from Canada, it is pricier, but still less expensive than in the U.S."

"Other companies offering drug pricing transparency and discounts include PharmacyChecker..."

PharmacyChecker.com estimates annual savings at over $5,500. This same organization lists the anticoagulant Xarelto (rivaroxaban) at over $1,500 for 90 days. It indicates that the same brand-name drug from an online or international pharmacy would be around $75."

"According to pharmacychecker.com, at this writing the lowest per pill price for Eliquis in the U.S. is $9.92, compared to the cheapest international price of forty-seven cents. For Jardiance the comparison is $18.61 versus seventy-five cents, and for Rinvoq it’s $183.88 compared to just $50.12. These disparities are simply outrageous. Voters intent on lowering their expenses should choose candidates who are more likely to support negotiated drug prices for every American."

People's Pharmacy says "Canadian online pharmacies represent huge savings" citing PharmacyChecker.com verification and price information.

"So, unless your doctor or pharmacist has given you some reason to pay extra for a brand name, you likely are smart to be a cheapskate about prescription drugs. To see if you can save even more on your prescriptions, check out the free online tools like PharmacyChecker.com..."
