Why are Canadian medications more affordable?
There are 3 main reasons for more affordable medications in Canada. The first reason is that the Canadian government controls how much the Canadian pharmaceutical companies can charge for their brand name drugs. The second reason is that the Canadian pharmaceutical companies are not allowed to advertise their products to the general public, which lowers their operating cost. The third reason is the strong American dollar, which means that you have a higher purchasing power. These all translate to typical savings of between 35% and 70%.
