Eliquis from Canadian Meds in Lady Lake

[villagetinker]

Does anyone have personal experience with getting Eliquis from Canadian Meds, I am asking for a relative. Note sure if they are taking 2.5 or 5 mg, but will be checking when they get back from work. Went to fill prescription yesterday over $1000 for 90 day supply!! NOT covered by insurance now, several thousand dollar deductible.....
Please let me know if the drugs were good and what the price was, I will be calling the company later today, but I am specifically trying to make sure these are quality drugs.
Thank you.

VT, I am using this Canadian Pharmacy. IndyDealmaker suggested it, they are reliable with great prices. Much better than the 441 Lady Lake Canadian Mets.

Their Eliquis price is much lower than the $1,000 cost you mentioned.

Please keep us posted... same situation. Humana quoted $1500 for 90 days. Insane!
:pray:

[blueash]

Both GoodRX and WellRX have coupons good at Publix for 90 days, 5 mg at about 755. Not great but better than over 1000. The Canadian pharmacies will be less expensive and with some you can select your country of manufacturer if having it be Canada or UK makes you more comfortable. I don't know if the price listed is US dollars or Canadian. If Canadian dollar you save about 20% on the exchange

Used Canadian drug company in Belleview quite a few times for Eliquis - always got quick delivery at great price. Got from VA last couple of years, but last time I used them, they were about 1/3 the cost of US pharmacies - same identical drugs.

[Indy-Guy]

I have used the Canadian website mentioned in post # 2 for over 2 years.

Have been very happy with service and the drugs are the same as I had gotten from local pharmacy at much lower price, I use them for 2 expensive drugs. By using them for these drugs I stay out of the donut hole.

Go on line to the Manufacturer and answer questions. I pay 30.00 for a 30 day supply with card they offer if you qualify.

Much lower is right! How about 90% lower than what U.S. pharmacies are charging. I've never gone through Canada to purchase pharmaceuticals before, but I'm tempted.

I had similar issue after receiving stint Dr prescribed Brilinta upon hospital discharge first 30 days free advised check with insurance which came to $498 monthly he change prescription to Plavix that I receive for $9.00 90 days, no issues since May 2020

[rgoosman]

Many Canadian meds are really Chinese or Indian. Before you deal with a website goto whois.com and verify the page is registered where you think it supposed to be.

[diva1]

Yes, we use Canadian Discount Rx Services in Belleview for Eliquis. Have been for over a year. We get it under the generic name Apixaban Tabs 5 mg and it comes from India. Takes about 4 weeks to arrive. Has been very reliable. Doing so with doctor's blessing. Costs $230 for 180 tablets which is SO MUCH CHEAPER than even the co-pay with my prescription insurance. Ask for Betty at 347-0403 and she will fix you up!

[talk12]

I have had a lot of success ordering from planet drugs in Canada. You can go online and it will show their prices for various drugs. You can also go online and compare Canadian drug prices for your drug. I've never had a problem with Planet drugs and they have operators that speak fluent English

[Tomptomp]

With GoodRx gold we are able to get Eliquos from Costco for $369 for a 90 day supply.

[Bridget Staunton]

I looked up address and it gives me British Columbia. Do you have address on 441. Thanks

[cronin2]

I have been using this Canadian Pharmacy for several years for 4 prescriptions. Some come from New Zealand and Great Britain besides India. It does take 4-6 weeks. Great service and friendly. No problem!

[Lawler]

Through my BCBS federal insurance I get 180 5mg doses for $95 from CVS Caremark.

[gpk111]

I got curious and comparison shopped popular discounters for 6 different medications, both generic and brands.

Healthwarehouse: US based. Slight discount from VERY high US list prices for medications still under patent protection

Canadapharmacy: Can be 50% off US list prices, but way overpriced for non-US (offshore) sourcing

Canadaprescriptionsplus: Competitive offshore pricing. 50% to 80% off US prices

DrugmartDirect: Canada based and sourced worldwide. Most competitive offshore pricing. Up to 50% less than Canadaprescriptionsplus. I've been using them for "all my patent protected medication needs!"


Individual Indian merchants: if you google long enough, there are boutique sellers in India who advertise brand names. Very inexpensive (and no prescription required !!!), but risk of shipments being confiscated by US Customs. 10 - 25% less then lowest prices from branded discounters.

Interesting business !

[tthdr]

I use pharmstore. You can get a price from them online.

Interesting topic. I found offshore pharmacies or referral services to be legit and that social media like this is invaluable in scrutinizing those services and blowing through the fog being created by US based big pharma.

Tinker: I sent you Eliquis detail in PM (180 tabs Apixaban 5 mg ℞, USD Total incl shipping :$132.80). I also posted my general pricing research above in post #16. It excluded some sourcing suggestions made in this string.

Medicare based drug program pricing can be deceiving, since many have very high deductibles for medications still under patent protection. Once you pass the deductible, the prices can be much lower, so I would suggest doing an analysis for an entire year. In my case, the annual cost for the chosen offshore source was only about 20% lower, even though the initial price comparison was lower by (almost) an order of magnitude.

Please let us know how you make out.

I ordered maintenance drugs from Canada for years before the drugs I take became available generically. I saved ALOT of money. The quality was supported by my test results which reassured me that I was getting effective meds from a reputable pharmacy. Interestingly, many drugs that are not generic here are already available as generic in Canada. I just checked online for you. The pharmacy I have used in Canada is showing the following: Eliquis is available in both brand and generic name. You may already be aware but the generic name is Apixaban. Canadian packaging and quantities can be somewhat different than what we normally have dispensed. They usually do not come in bottles but rather in packages that you push through the package bottom one pill at a time. A normal 90 day supply is actually 100 that has 10/10 packs in a box.

Here are the generic prices that I found for Apixaban. 2.5mg 30 pills $37.29, 60 pills $52.19 These are the only quantities listed for 2.5mg but you can order more than one pack. 5mg 30pills $79.69, 60 pills $159.29, 120 pills $209.29, 180 pills $312.09.

Under the brand name of Eliquis the following quantities and prices are: 2.5mg 56 pills $87.79/ 112 pills $175.39, 168 pills $263.29 5mg 56 pills $264.99 and 112 pills $501.99. I get a regular email newsletter from them and they have been saying it is taking longer to receive orders because of the supply chain demands during COVID. They have also addressed several times the increasing prices of generics. I always made certain I reordered in plenty of time to allow for shipping. I also found that I could order more than one 90 day supply. My doctor had no problem with me ordering prescriptions from Canada and would write me prescriptions with refills for one year. Make certain that you are ordering from a reputable company. The manufacturing facilities supplying Northwest Pharmacy are located in several countries but these facilities are also producing meds for U.S. companies as well. I found Northwest Pharmacy very trustworthy. I hope you find this helpful.

This is not meant to be political and is just a question and I hope it will not lead to any political comments. Do you know what happened to the Most Favored Nation Status Clause, that was signed by the last administration that required pharmaceutical companies to price drugs at no higher than the lowest price they charge anywhere else in the world. If someone knows, one answer will suffice.

Good description! The forum thanks you! :) Those packs are called "blister packs" and help confirm legitimacy.

Looks like my preferred source is about 1/2 of yours. Also, one should add shipping charges, possible covid surcharges, and (improbable) taxes to the equation. Also make sure it's an ANNUAL "apples to apples" comparison against your Plan D drug plan.

Excellent side bar. My guess is that we will continue to have to do personal comparisons like this. Even IF the current administration stays on this course, my guess is that US based pharma companies will continue to drag their feet to delay erosion of profits. I love free enterprise and pharma's role in our lives (witness vaccine development), but after studying this, I have come to the conclusion that the pricing of patented drugs is less than noble!

I just checked and I was incorrect as to the Canadian Drug supplier that I use. The correct one is.

Same thing happened to us. We use online Pharmaserve (saved me $500 on my rx, i'm not on medicare yet, and have a $7,000 deductible) and Canada Drug Warehouse.

I am a Canadian resident. Not snowbirding this season.
This is what I pay for Eliquis.
$4 (or $3. U.S.) for a 90 day supply. The drugs are free for Ontario residents (65 and older) but the pharmacy charges an administration fee. I am not complaining.

Pharmstore.com. Have used for years. My girlfriends husband gets Eloquis 180 as he takes twice a day for around $150. My husband takes Xarelto and we pay $135 for 88 days have been using them for 5 years

INTERESTING! Thanks for unearthing Pharmstore!

After comparison shopping, I settled on DRUGMARTDIRECT (Phone 855-402-2022) and found them to have the best possible prices. I did not include PHARMSTORE (800-281-8347) as a comparison. Just checked and I believe they are the same organization. Phone numbers and brands are different, but the greeting messages are almost identical. The big differentiator seems to be that Pharmstore advertises free shipping. However, it looks like they add the shipping charges to the price so they can claim free shipping. Here is the comparison:

Sample pricing for 180 tabs of 5mg Apixaban, the generic form of Eliquis:
-- 5mg, 180 tabs price from Drugmartdirect - $117.85 (Pharmstore price is $127.99)
-- Shipping from Drugmartdirect - $9.99 (free from Pharmstore)
-- Covid surcharge from Drugmartdirect - $5.00 (also $5.00 with Pharmstore)
-- TOTAL Drugmartdirect - $132.84 (TOTAL Pharmstore - $132.99)

PS The lowest price for Eliquis (the generic is not available), on Good RX, a popular US discount service, is $1,453.33. :ohdear:

[pmken2]

I use them and call them directly in Winnipeg Canada. They are great and my medication was so much cheaper than here.
There number is 800-388-0270

[stebooo]

Despite being very expensive it is good. I don't think you have a right to even make this decision. My doctor said this is what you take or kiss your family goodby. Doesn't your friend have any insurance? Don't tell me it's to expensive. Assuming your friend is on medicare ins is free. fREE. I pay 125 for 90 days till out of donut hole then it's 345. I pay maybe 1000 a year...

[stebooo]

Specifically eliquis.

[petsetc]

Just an added consideration. My wife needs an inhaler which is not in Humana's formulary so we had to jump through hoops to get it approved. When we did and I went to order it through the Humana mail order pharmacy, it was $212 for 4 inhalers(3 months). I got a new written prescription (doctor inadvertently wrote it for 3 inhalers) and went to local CVS with my GoodRx card. They actually ran it through the Humana plan for under $80. Have done this twice. Go figure.

Shop it more than you think would be my suggestion.

If this was directed to me, my step son is a working stiff, and does not qualify for medicare (too young), yes he has insurance, and the plan he could afford has a $9000 deductible (medical and/or drugs), so he has to pay FULL price until $9000 is spent, hence we are looking for alternatives.

[villagetinker]

To all responders, a BIG THANK YOU for all of the information and the possible alternatives, I know my step son will be very pleased with these results.

I think you are comparing apples and oranges. Buying a drug from Canada doesn't mean you are getting a different drug. You are getting the same drug for a lower price because of the ridiculous U.S. pricing policies.

[Jojo417]

Hospital can give you a voucher for the first 30 days and then the doctor gets approval & it’s covered ... that’s how it worked for me ...
