All brand name and generic medicines available through the Medstore International discount pharmacy are of the highest quality. These products are either sourced from developed western countries (Canada, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand) where they have complied with strict international regulatory approval process, or are sourced from manufacturing facilities that have been approved by one of the following respected international regulatory bodies; Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USA; Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), UK; Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Australia; Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention (PIC), Germany; World Health Organisation (WHO).

Medications sold by Medstore International undergo rigorous testing and review to verify their identity, potency, purity, and stability and to demonstrate that they are safe and effective drugs for their intended use.

The discount drugs that the Medstore International discount pharmacy offers include both original brand products and generic medicines. The discount pharmaceutical products listed by brand name are the same brand name products sold worldwide. The same products that you may be currently buying from your local, more expensive outlet!

However, original brand name and generic products are not always marketed using the same name in every country. You need to be aware that while international pharmaceutical companies usually market their products around the world using the same name (eg Prozac, Viagra, Xenical) this is not always the case. The same product can also be sold with a slightly modified name in other countries (eg Flonase = Flixonase; Prilosec = Losec; Imitrex = Imigran), or even with a completely different name (Allegra = Telfast; Advair = Seretide; Prevacid = Zoton). Because Advair is called Seretide in Australia and the United Kingdom, it does not mean Seretide is a generic version. It is just that the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, has decided to market this product under the brand name Seretide in other countries for marketing reasons.

Customers have the option of searching for their prescription medicines using either the generic name (chemical name) or brand name. The Medstore International discount pharmacy listings indicate whether the discount drugs offered are original, brand name products or generic alternatives. Because all of our discount drugs have been sourced from countries with robust drug-regulatory systems you can have total confidence in their quality whatever your choice.

The price of the same prescription medicine available from our discount pharmacy, can vary significantly from country to country. While inter-country price differences are a normal part of international commerce, the degree of the price difference with some prescription medicines can be significant! This means that the discount drugs available in one country can often be much more expensive in another! This enables Medstore International to provide you with great savings because:

1. The products are sourced from countries where Government funded health systems purchase prescription medicines for their citizens. Over time, the Government funding policies and Company-Government negotiations have driven the price of prescription medicines down.

2. The price of generic drugs are not affected by the high research & marketing costs required to discover and promote a medicine. These products are essentially ‘copy’ products and the development work has already been done by the original manufacturer. In addition the marketing costs for generic products are lower because the brand is usually well established by the time the patent expires and a generic is available.

3. Exchange rate movements provide significant additional savings.

The benefit to you the consumer- high quality, low cost prescription drugs!
