Free shipping to the US! The only drawback is no credit cards.
USA Customers:
- Mail your check to our USA PO Box (*Preferred)
- Money Order or Cashier's check are also acceptable and result in fast processing and no clearance delays (*Preferred)
- eChecks - Good for personal bank accounts in good standing with your bank with at least 6 months history since you opened it
- Deluxe eChecks (http://www.deluxe.com/echecks/)
- Wire transfer from your bank
- We are unable to accept American Express from USA customers
I mail a personal check to their PO Box in the US. Never had a problem. Because I'm a longtime customer, as soon as I submit my online order, they ship the meds out without waiting for my check. It can take about two weeks.
Because the Trump administration has drastically lowered drug prices starting Jan. 1, 2021 I will be curious to see if the US pharmacies can beat InHouse Pharmacy's prices.

I just priced a muscle relaxer called Baclofen, for 100 pills they want $33.50. I can use GoodRx and get 270 pills for $30. If I joined GoodRx it would cost $22.
Was curious because it looks like my new medicare prescription plan may not cover it or it was a bit pricey. I hadn't looked at GoodRx yet. I'll have a 90 day script filled in December and try to make that last.

Everyone should shop around for the best deal. Different drugs are priced differently in different places, even at competing drug store chains in the US

They don't make ranitidine/ zantac in the US anymore.

I get my retin-a and my lattisse from India. Happy with the products and paying only 25% of cost here. My favorite site just closed down so need to find a new one.

We had a prescription which was not covered by Medicare. Sadly, even those discount drug cards don't allow you to use their card if you have "government" insurance. Go figure!

I stock up on Careprost (generic Latisse) at InHouse Pharmacy.vu (see above). All Day Chemist in India charged shipping last time I looked, but InHouse Pharmacy is free.
Jan. 1 is the date drug prices are supposed to drop in the US but then the drugstore chains will add their markup I suppose. We'll see.

It has a carcinogenic ingredient so not sold anywhere. Plenty of other similar drugs you can buy over the counter.

If you do decide to buy medications manufactured in India, you might want to do some internet sleuthing to research FDA inspection violations for your drug manufacturer. As of a couple years ago, Cipla had the best record. That said, I've read the same reports another poster alluded to where inspections are typically scheduled in advance. Plants have time to correct violations before the inspection even occurs.
I do remember reading about one manufacturer that was found to have holes in the factory's roof where pigeon dung had fallen through onto the floor! I can only imagine what it would have been like when it rained.

They don't make zantac/ranitidine in Canada. And any chemical made in India gets tested by USP standards. It doesn't matter how dirty the rivers are.
