Online Canadian pharmacy continues to offer bargain prices

• Purchasing prescription drugs from an online Canadian pharmacy still makes some Americans weary because the Food and Drug Administration warns that it's not safe.
• However, DoctorSolve Online Pharmacy (http://www.doctorsolve.com) is owned and operated by experienced physicians motivated by a desire to provide their American neighbors with access to better healthcare.
• Eventually, a desire to provide more personal patient care prompted them to open several ambulatory medical clinics near the U. S. border in Vancouver.
• According to Zickler, it was only a short time before they realized there was a huge need for seniors on a fixed income, and other uninsured Americans, to have cheaper access to prescription drugs.
• "We felt it was unethical not to make medications available to people who could otherwise not afford them, "says Zickler.
• "So we obtained permission from the FDA to mail prescriptions to patients unable to pick them up and founded DoctorSolve."
• Further championing the cause for affordable prescription medications in the U.S., the doctors also helped establish the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA), a non-profit trade association that ensures member pharmacies adhere to strict safety guidelines and provides consumers with factual information about the pharmaceutical industry.
• During their eighteen-year tenure at Royal Columbian, the dynamic doctor duo played a significant role in developing the specialty of emergency medicine, championed legislation for the mandatory use of seatbelts and motorcycle helmets and developed cardiac life support programs.
• Drug companies pay the FDA about $260 million per year in fees, according to Marcia Angell, M.D., the New England Journal of Medicine's former editor in chief and author of "The Truth about the Drug Companies."
• "The Prescription Drug User Fee Act has undoubtedly constrained the FDA's independence and influenced its decisions," says Angell.
