Q. Would you please send me information about pharmacies in Canada? I am currently in the Medicare doughnut hole. Just two refills I requested today will cost me $883.72.
A. Between now and the end of the year many Medicare participants will be in the Part D doughnut hole with you. That means paying 100 percent of the cost of their medications.
Before you order online, recognize that there are unethical Web-based pharmacies claiming to be Canadian. They could be selling counterfeit drugs from anywhere in the world.
We are sending you our Guide to Saving Money on Medicine with information about legitimate Canadian pharmacies and 10 tips for economizing safely. It makes sense to verify that the pharmacy you choose is certified by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association, CIPA.
