EDMONTON, Alberta, July 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Canada Medicine Mart, a leading online Canadian pharmacy, today announced the launch of its new 30-day Retail Prescription Drug Challenge. The challenge runs from July 15th, 2004, through August 15th, 2004. It offers California residents an alternative means to purchase the higher-priced prescription drugs they may now acquire through major U.S. retail chain outlets, such as Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS, and Rite Aid.
Visitors to the Canada Medicine Mart web site are encouraged to send a copy of their most recent prescription, the prescription's receipt, as provided by Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS, or Rite Aid, and a Canada Medicine Mart prescription order form via the Canada Medicine Mart toll free fax. In the event that the printed prescription cost charged by the U.S. pharmacy is less than the Canada Medicine Mart price, Canada Medicine Mart will match the U.S. retail price and offer an additional 10% off the customer's first order. Commonly, however, the average cost savings of the Canadian prescription over a U.S. prescription is 40-50%. Canada Medicine Mart has over 1,000 prescription drugs that are sold at a 20% to 80% discount to the same drug available in the U.S.
The Canada Medicine Mart service is geared towards customers who use prescription drugs for the long-term treatment of a variety of conditions. Prescription delivery with the use of this service will occur within 14 days of original order placement. Refill orders can often be processed in 3-5 days. Prescriptions are filled when a faxed U.S. prescription accompanies the order.
