Canadian Drug Prices vs. U.S. Drug Prices

Best Prices Versus Local U.S. Pharmacy Prices

In recent years, the cost of buying prescription medications in the United States has continually increased. A 2022 study reports that, from 2008 to 2021, the annual cost of brand-name prescription drugs rose by about 10.7% after adjusting for drug characteristics. High U.S. drug prices lead to significant out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, even with private insurance or Medicare, making healthcare unaffordable for many U.S. residents. This is why 2-3 million Americans are now purchasing their prescription medications online from abroad, including from Canadian pharmacies like Canada Pharmacy.

U.S Pharmacy Prices vs. Canada Pharmacy Prices

Brand-name drug prices in Canada are much lower than U.S. pharmacy prices. Online Canadian pharmacies like Canada Pharmacy help customers save up to 80% on certain brand-name and generic medications while conveniently shipping products directly to customers' doors.

For example, you can buy one 2 mg pen injector of Ozempic from Canada Pharmacy for $424.99. This is considerably lower than the average price of around $1,000 before insurance at a local U.S. pharmacy. A similar price difference applies to another popular medication,  Mounjaro. You can purchase a 2.5 mg injector for $546.99 on our website, compared to an estimated price of over $1,000 monthly from a pharmacy in the United States. This equates to savings of $400 to $500 on your medication when you purchase from a Canadian online retailer like Canada Pharmacy.

Below is a breakdown of the difference between Canadian and U.S. pharmacy prices. These are for brand-name and generic medications listed on our website compared to the average U.S. pharmacy cost.
