The high cost of
prescription drugs has been
a tremendous concern in this
country for many years. Some
Nevadans are ordering drugs
online in an effort to save
money – sometimes ordering
without knowing where the
drugs are coming from. In
response to this problem,
the Nevada Legislature
passed a bill in 2005 to
create this website and
authorize the licensure of
certain Canadian pharmacies
by the Nevada State Board of
Pharmacy.
The list of all Canadian
pharmacies licensed through
this process is posted on
this website, along with
answers to commonly asked
questions. One of the most
frequently asked questions
relates to this issue and
the legality of ordering
prescription medications
from Canada, and we
encourage you to
click
here to read FAQ No. 2
and the
Legal
Information – General
Disclaimer of Liability
and the
FDA’s
website.
While considering whether to
purchase prescription drugs
from these Canadian
pharmacies, consumers should
be aware that the federal
government has taken the
position that the
importation of certain drugs
from outside of the U.S. may
violate federal law.
Any patient who has
concerns, questions, or
complaints regarding a
licensed Canadian pharmacy
may contact the
Nevada
State Board of Pharmacy
at (775) 850-1440 or
toll-free at (800) 364-2081.
This website is managed by
the Office for Consumer
Health Assistance. We
encourage you to read
through the information on
each link before making a
purchasing decision. For
