Domain Info
The WhoIs records tell us that this website was registered in 2004. This is a sign of a legit company. Rogue online stores tend to not be around for a very long period. The site was last updated on June 5th, 2018.
Nonetheless, according to who.is records, the business may not be as legit as you think. The site’s owner is using a privacy service which hides its contact information. Besides, I did not find any official records about the name and address of this pharmacy. This isn’t a good sign and something which I would not like to see with an online business. This may just be a trading name, but they should also provide the registered business name anyway.
However, the registrar of this site is indicated as TUCOWS, INC. Tucows Domains Inc., a publicly traded Internet services and telecommunications company, headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Besides, the pharmacy’s name suggests that the store has its physical location in Canada. But the website’s IP address is located in San Francisco, USA. So, I’m not actually sure where this country originates from.
Another thing that worries me is that this website had 14 changes on 14 unique IP addresses over 15 years and there are 474 other websites hosted on this server. These are common features of scam internet pharmacies.
Products and Pricing
Canada Prescriptions Plus sells both brand and generic medications. They also mention that all their products have been approved by the FDA. Here you can buy both prescription and over the counter drugs.
The website has a wide database of products. The available drugs categories include Flea Control, Pet Medications, Intestinal, Pet Products, Ear Products, Antimalarial, Injectables, Alzheimers, Smoking Cessation, Vitamins and Minerals, Bone Health, Migraines, Eye Products, Men’s Health, Antifungals, Birth Control, Thyroid Medications, Antiviral, Immunosuppressant, Women’s Health, Ulcer Reflux Disease, CNS Acting Drugs, and others. They do not sell sedatives or narcotics.
The pharmacy claims that its products are 30-80% cheaper when compared to other pharmacies. However, the prices seem higher than those offered by other online stores that I have reviewed. I checked the price for the brand-name and generic Viagra. A pill of brand-name Viagra is available for $11.24. Generic Viagra will cost you $1.5. This price is affordable but definitely not the lowest one.
Below you can see how the price for Viagra and Sildenafil differs depending on the dosage and quantity:
The company also mentions that most of their drugs are sourced from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Nevertheless, they also dispense medication from United States, India, Singapore, Turkey, Canada, United Kingdom, and Mauritius.
Payment and Shipping
Being a «Canadian pharmacy», the store ships drugs only within Canada.
Shipping is fulfilled via USPS courier and costs $9.95. However, customers can get free shipping when their orders reach or exceed $300. The delivery period is between 2 to 4 weeks.
You should also know that this online pharmacy does not allow the return of any products under any circumstance. They inform customers that “all sales are final”, so you will not be able to exchange or return the medications.
You can pay for their products using e-checks, personal checks, money orders, international money orders, and bank certified checks. They do not accept credit cards at this time.
Legal Approvals
Canada Prescriptions Plus claims to be a member of several organizations: CIPA, IPABC, and PharmacyChecker.com. The use of the seals is correct, which means that the company is a real member of these regulatory associations.
Despite being approved by these organizations, the company is listed as an unapproved pharmacy on LegitScript.com.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) agrees with LegitScript and does not recommend this online pharmacy to consumers. NABP also believes this company to be violating the rules of dispensing unapproved drugs.
Safety
CanadaPrescriptionsPlus.com is using SSL encryption to make online transactions safe and secure, which means that browsing this site will not do harm to your sensitive personal information. The secure connection is verified by COMODO CA Limited:
The antivirus is regretfully however not available on the website, which means your device may be infected with dangerous malware, Trojans, and viruses. It’s nice that the store is utilizing a secure connection but the lack of antivirus programs is a bad sign.
Finally, you should know that Canada Prescriptions Plus is not a real pharmacy but an agent that connects potential customers with licensed pharmacies. However, the whole ordering process is performed on this very site. Based on these findings, I conclude that this store does not appear to be trustworthy.
