What Is The Difference In Purchasing Premarin From Canada Vs USA?
Thanks. What is the difference in purchasing Premarin from Canada vs the USA? I don t have insurance for Premarin anymore and the least I can buy it for is $93.00 for 30 day supply. For about 25 years I ve taken Premarin .625 but can t afford it anymore. It seems to be cheaper in Canada but I wonder if it is the same as what I am getting here in the USA?

Hi,
About 75% cheaper. That is about it. Mostly, the same manufacturing source is used. Basically, it is the same stuff, just the system lowers the prices in Canada. Since the drug companies often are based in the US, there is less pressure for lowering the price.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
