Who
is MapleLeafMeds?
We
have partnered with a premier Canadian doctors' clinic and
have prescriptions filled by licensed Canadian pharmacies
to help American consumers obtain substantial savings on
their prescription medications.
Can
you fill a prescription from my American doctor?
Yes.
After you mail or fax a copy of your original prescription
to us, one of our medical staff will contact you by phone
to review a complete patient profile and medical history.
One of our Canadian physicians will review your medical
history and approve the prescription under his/her Canadian
license. Your prescription will be filled at one of our
associated drugstores by a licensed Canadian pharmacist.
What
is the difference between a brand name drug and a generic
drug?
A
generic drug is a copy that is the same as a brand-name drug
in dosage, safety, strength, how it is taken, quality, performance
and intended use.
Since generics use the same active ingredients and are shown
to work the same way in the body, they have the same risks
and benefits as their brand-name counterparts.
Generic drugs are less expensive because generic manufacturers
don’t have the investment costs of the developer of
a new drug. New drugs are developed under patent protection.
The patent protects the investment—including research,
development, marketing, and promotion—by giving the
company the sole right to sell the drug while it is in effect.
As patents near expiration, manufacturers can apply to sell
generic versions. Because those manufacturers don’t
have the same development costs, they can sell their product
at substantial discounts. Also, once generic drugs are approved,
there is greater competition, which keeps the price down.
Today, almost half of all prescriptions filled in the US are
with generic drugs. |
