Tel. 1-866-799-3435 Use Discount Code 10786

Q. Why are your prescription prices so low?


A. We have located and affiliated ourselves with several global suppliers and pharmacies
in order to get you the medication where it is offered at the lowest cost. Also, patent laws
differ from country to country and lower cost generic alternatives may be available for
drugs that are only available as brands at your local pharmacy.
Q. Is there a limit on how much I can buy?
A. The maximum supply you can order depends on the type of drug it is, whether its Rx
or OTC and where it is being sent from, provided that you have a valid prescription for
that supply of medication. If your physician writes a prescription for more than the
maximum supply allowed, then we can fill those refills as they come due. For more
information on the maximum supply allowed for your prescriptions, please contact one of
our customer service agents (1-866-799-3435 - Use Discount Code 10786).
Q. Why can't I buy Valium, Tylenol #3 or similar medications from your
pharmacy?
A. We legally cannot ship any narcotic or controlled substances. We also will not sell any
habit forming medications.
Q. Will you accept my insurance?
A. You need to consult with your insurance company on purchasing medications outside
the country. We will provide you with a proper receipt for insurance purposes. Your
insurance company may or may not accept our receipts.
Q. How do I pay for my order?
A. We accept Visa and MasterCard. We also accept EChecks, money orders and cashier's
checks. We currently do not accept American Express.

Q. What is a generic?
A. Drug manufacturers hold patents on the brand-name drugs they make and sell. When
the patent expires, pharmaceutical companies can manufacture a generic, or copy, of the
brand-name and sell it at substantial discounts.
A generic medication has the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, directions,
performance, and intended use as its brand-name counter-part. Before generics are made
available on the market, the manufacturer must prove it has the same active ingredients as
the brand-name and works as effectively. The only differences between generics and their
brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly
different (eg. different shape or color), as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking
exactly like the brand-name medication. Generics are less expensive because generic
manufacturers do not have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug.

Tel. 1-866-799-3435 Use Discount Code 10786

Q. Why do some drugs have different names?


A. These are trade or brand names registered by the manufacturer. In different countries,
manufacturers will often use different trade names. The medications have the same active
ingredients, but may look different and have a different trade name. e.g. Adalat XL
(Canada) and Adalat Oros (New Zealand).
Q. Are all drugs available?
A. No, we do not have all medications that are available in other parts of the world but,
with our network of affiliated global pharmacies, we're pretty close.
Q. If I don't see my prescription medication on your price list, does that mean you
don't carry it?
A. No. If you do not see the drug that you are looking for, please call us toll free at 1866-799-3435 - Use Discount Code 10786 or submit your request using our electronic
form on www.globalpharmacymeds.to/contact_Us.htm and we will respond with pricing
if available.
Q. Do I get charged a shipping charge for each prescription?
A. No. The shipping charge is for each shipment only. Free shipping is applied if you
order more than $99 of medications from our International Generics Program. Please
mention the offer on your order form or on the phone when reordering.
Q. What is the International Generics Program?
A. The International Generics Program (IGP) is one of the first programs of its kind to be
launched by a Canadian Prescription Broker in response to Big Pharma's increased
pressure on Canadian prescription companies like ours. Just as its name implies, the
International Generics Program is aimed at providing customers with the generic versions
of medications that are currently only available as brand names in Canada. All
pharmaceuticals obtained through IGP are the generic equivalents of approved brand
name drugs. Most of these prescription drugs are manufactured in UK MHRA, Australian
TGA, US Food and Drug Administration, German PIC and Health Canada inspected
facilities located overseas in India. Moreover, they can be purchased at hefty discount
prices above and beyond our already low prices on Canadian medications.
Q. Are all drugs less expensive with GlobalPharmacyMeds.to?
A. No. The majority of prices are less expensive, but there are exceptions.
Q. Can I place a refill order online?
A. Yes. Just go to www.globalpharmacymeds.to/refills.html

Did You Know?

An estimated 1.8 million Americans save money by buying drugs from other
countries, especially Canada, which sets price limits as part of its national health
system.
Generics made up 63 percent of prescriptions dispensed in the United States in
2006, up 13 percent from 2005. And these days, the countrys biggest supplier of
prescription drugs, as measured by prescriptions filled, is not a high-profile
American company like Pfizer or Merck. It is Teva Pharmaceutical, a generic
manufacturer based in Israel, according to data from IMS Health, a firm that
tracks the market.
A vast majority of Americans (88 percent) are confident that prescription drugs
made in the United States are safe. In contrast, only 56 percent think that drugs
made in Canada and Europe are safe, and only 14 percent think that drugs made in
China and India are safe. Buy many of the drugs sold in the United States are
made in China and India, according to James Thurber, the director of the Center
for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University.
According to the national Health Interview Survey, from January through March
2007, 41.9 million persons of all ages (14.2%) were uninsured at the time of the
interview, 52.8 million (17.8%) had been uninsured for at least part of the year
prior to the interview, and 30.6 million (10.3%) had been uninsured for more than
a year at the time of the interview. Also, the percentage of children under the age
of 18 years who were uninsured at the time of the interview was 8.5% in the first
3 months of 2007.

We at GlobalPharmacyMeds.to are proud to include you as one of our valued and
loyal customers. If you have never ordered from us, we thank you for your interest in our
company and hope that we will have the pleasure of counting you as a customer after
browsing this guide. For over three years, thousands of customers have enjoyed the
benefits of purchasing their Canadian prescription medications from a reliable and
trustworthy company. Throughout the years, we have aimed at providing you with some
of the most competitive prices on all Canadian prescription medications as well as with
the best customer service and support the industry has to offer.
We realize that over the past couple of years there has been an increase in the prices of
your Canadian medications despite our very best efforts. The release of this information
booklet marks the advent of a new initiative undertaken to maintain our competitive
pricing and high quality services you have come to expect from our company. It is a
testament of our renewed promise to fulfill our commitment to bringing you the lowest
priced prescription medication in the industry. We encourage you to read through this
booklet for more details on how our new initiative can benefit you.

Background Information & Description of our New Initiative


Since our inception in March 2002, we have sought to provide you with your much
needed medications at low and affordable prices by battling the big drug manufacturers
as well as the US and Canadian governments. However, over the past few months, major
manufacturers such as Pfizer and Wyeth have assumed a new offensive that has pushed
many other outfits out of business. At the very least, those who have managed to remain
in business have been forced to dramatically raise their prices on prescription drugs.
This new offensive entails tougher supply restrictions on pharmacies thought to be
exporting to the United States. These restrictions ensure that many Canadian pharmacies
are only able to provide enough medication to fill orders for local clients. Consequently,
many US clients are forced to find other alternatives to filling their prescriptions. Along
with the plunging value of the US dollar, which in effect decreases your purchasing
power, you are facing a very precarious and unpredictable situation when purchasing
Canadian prescription medication. GlobalPharmacyMeds.to has responded to this
onslaught with the following recent addition to its Canadian Prescription service.

The International Generics Program


In mid 2004, we unofficially introduced the International Generics Program (IGP) in an
effort to gauge customer satisfaction and response. GlobalPharmacyMeds.to is pleased to
announce that during its limited run, the IGP exceeded all of our expectations. In light of
the encouraging response to the program, we have decided to formally launch the IGP
and to officially unveil the program with the release of this booklet.
The IGP is one of the first programs of its kind to be launched by a Canadian Prescription
Broker in response to Big Pharma's increased pressure on Canadian prescription
companies like ours. Just as its name implies, the International Generics Program is
aimed at providing US customers with the generic versions of medications that are
currently only available as brand names in the US and Canada. All pharmaceuticals
obtained through our International Generic Program are the generic equivalents of US
FDA approved brand name drugs. Most of these prescription drugs are manufactured in
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected facilities located overseas in India.
Moreover, they can be purchased at hefty discount prices above and beyond our already
low prices on Canadian medications.
Generic medications are widely accepted by physicians, pharmacists, and healthcare
providers. Today, more than 40% of all annually dispensed medications are in fact,
generic drugs, and the availability of generic drugs is constantly expanding. Now is the
right time to choose generic drugs and to choose GlobalPharmacyMeds.to as your
supplier! We offer only top-quality generic drugs that are exact duplicates of the brand
name drugs upon which they are based. You can be rest assured and confident in the
stability, effectiveness, and quality of prescription medication you can order from our
prescription drug service.

Major Benefits of the IGP


1. Long-term solution for current supply issues:
The IGP assures you that your prices will NEVER increase and your supply will NEVER
dry up (pending availability). Given the circumstances facing the Canadian prescription
industry, including tighter restrictions at the border, the stability of low prices and
availability of medication is implicit to your level of reassurance and satisfaction.
2. Ability to order a larger supply (case by case basis):
We offer long term supplies to those clients who feel that ordering larger supplies of
medication will be most convenient for them. This is often the case with many of our
customers who have been taking their medications for an extended period of time and
who will continue to do so. Most orders are offered in 6 month supplies, but we can ship
from 3 months to 1 year quantities on all available products.

3. Free Shipping provided (for all orders above $99 USD)


4. Guaranteed lowest prices of any Canadian fulfiller!
We guarantee that our IGP prices are significantly less expensive than those prices found
on our websites for Canadian medications. If you find a price lower than the one we
quoted you from any reputable Canadian fulfiller, we will match and beat their price.
Please read and keep this booklet. It contains a detailed description of the medications
IGP offers along with answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding this
program.

Industry Information & Statistics


Why are our drugs so inexpensive?
The answer lies in the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) treaties between nations protect patents and
trademarks. India is one of few nations that selected a patenting scheme based upon
protection of the manufacturing process (Process Patents) rather than using the more
common scheme of protecting the actual product (Product Patents).
Indian Patent law therefore allows scientists to legally manufacture a drug that has been
patented. In other words, a drug that is already under patent law may be duplicated as
long as a different process is used to create the same drug (or active ingredient) than the
process used in the original patent. As a result, Indian pharmaceutical chemists use
reverse engineering to legally create drugs. These drugs, that are still patent protected in
some areas, are sold worldwide. As a result, these patented drugs can be marketed at
prices that reflect their real manufacturing costs rather than a monopoly price that has
been determined by competition, high costs of research and development, advertising,
and promotions to doctors and the US public. Finally, because India has very strict price
controls on the retail selling prices of drugs, Indian pharmacies are inhibited from being
able to raise their prices higher than these limits. The result is that India has become the
largest producer of generic drugs in the world; drugs which have continuously met high
health and medical standards.
Our drugs are manufactured in India, whose enormous pharmaceutical industry is largely
owned and operated by U.S. drug companies. All of our medications are factory machine
sealed in blister packaging and untouched by human hands. In fact, our agreement with
our fulfillers requires that all of the drugs we offer are made in production plants that are
U.S. FDA inspected and approved. These drugs, legally made and patented in India,
come without huge development and advertising costs and are legal for sale worldwide at
a fraction of the cost of the name brand they duplicate. For this reason, our prices for

GlobalPharmacyMeds.to

Tel. 1-866-799-3435 Use Discount Code 10786

generic drugs are low. Of course, U.S. companies have spent billions in advertising to
convince you that brand and generic drugs are not the same in terms of mechanism of
action, although their use is encouraged by AARP.

Statistics
A host of companies are successfully demonstrating India's abilities in chemistry and
manufacturing, and R&D led growth is commonplace.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry has grown exponentially to $5.6 billion USD. It
ranks fifth in terms of volume behind the United States, Japan, Europe, and China
Growth over the last five years has been more than 20%, which is twice the world rate.
Pharmaceutical exports stood at $2.5 billion USD in 2002-2003. Exports to the United
States, which is the world's largest pharmaceutical market, were valued at $450 million
USD.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry has the highest number of production plants
approved by the FDA outside the USA. It also has the largest number of DMFs (drug
master files) filed which gives it access to the high growth generic bulk drugs market.
Generic drug manufacturing is the main growth driver for the future. The world market
is expected to exceed $55 billion USD by 2005. India is set to capture a large portion of
this market by leveraging its inherent strengths in technology, R&D facilities, and trained
human capital.
To facilitate the sector's growth, the Indian government announced exemptions from
import licenses to foreign pharmaceutical units setting up their manufacturing units in
Special Economic Zones.
Setting up a production plant is 40% cheaper in India compared to developed countries.
Therefore, the cost of bulk drug production is 60-70% less.
In accordance with WTO stipulations, India will grant product patent recognition to all
New Chemical Entities beginning in 2005.

USFDA Wants to Set India Office


The Economic Times; August 25, 2004
With the product patent regime round the corner and the ever increasing thrust on the US
generic markets by the Indian pharmaceutical companies, the United States Food and
Drugs Administration (USFDA) is contemplating branching out to India. Besides Delhi,
cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad are being considered for locating its branch office.
USFDAs decision to set up an office in India is expected to save considerable time. The
office will enable exchange of information between the US authorities and Indian pharma
companies, sources told ET.
Besides the product patent regime, USFDA is also looking at India because India has the
largest number of USFDA approved pharma plants (outside USA), sources added. India
is currently home to as many as 61 USFDA approved pharma plants.
Indian pharma companies are expected to notch a turnover of $12 billion by 2008 as
against the current revenues of $7 billion. Indian pharma companies have gained global
recognition as producers of low-cost and high-quality bulk drugs and formulations, they
said.

Global Drug Giants Rediscover India


Business Standard; August 23, 2004
Years after many multinational pharmaceutical companies virtually abandoned the
Indian market because of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, a restrictive drug price
control regime and the lack of product patent protection, several are heading for India.
The list includes the US-based Ivax Corporation, Israeli drug maker Taro
Pharmaceuticals and the US-based Merck & Co, all of which are understood to be
sounding drug industry lobbies here on either buying local drug companies, or setting
up plants in India. Health equipment manufacturing companies like Australia's Uscom,
too, are also leaping into India.
Germany's Hexal AG, which has set up a liaison office in Secunderabad, is now
planning a full-fledged push into India. Gerhard Schaefer, director, business
development, Hexal AG said: "Hexal has decided to build a formulation plant in
Bangalore and is in the process of acquiring land and completing other formalities. The
products to be manufactured there, from 2006 onwards will be exported to Hexal's
GlobalPharmacyMeds.to

Tel. 1-866-799-3435 Use Discount Code 10786

subsidiaries in all parts of the world. Hexal will invest at least 10 million Euros in the
Indian facility. The company has already entered to partnerships with several Indian
companies."
Not to be outdone, multinationals like Roche, Bayer, Aventis and Chiron, which are
already here, have decided to make India their regional hub for active pharmaceutical
ingredients and supplies of bulk drugs, apart from outsourcing clinical research. Pfizer,
for example, has almost doubled its R&D expenditure in India. Novartis, Astra Zeneca,
Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline, too, are understood to be making India a global hub for
clinical research.
The renewed interest in the Indian market is prompted by the product patents regime
that comes into force in January 2005 - India now recognizes only process patents - and
by low costs.
Says Utkarsh Palnitkar, partner at Ernst & Young, "Innovative pharmaceutical
multinationals, pressured by patent expirations in 2005, the increasing cost of drug
development and declining productivity in R&D, are feeling more confident about
intellectual property rights protection in India and are scaling up their investments."

The strength and expansion of Cipla's research and development facilities have
contributed to its role as a leader in new drug formulations. Further, Cipla's ability to
quickly duplicate a new drug introduced elsewhere, and to subsequently inject it into the
Indian market has played a significant role in building a basket of formulation brands.
Being one of the earliest entrants into the market with a new drug, generally, enables a
company to achieve higher realisations. Cipla has exemplified this in its overwhelming
success.

In addition to being among the early entrants, a defining quality of Cipla's strategy is its
ability to market products at a significantly lower price. Cipla has developed the world's
first budesonide-based, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) free anti-asthma inhaler, 'Budecort
CFC-free'. Budesonide, which falls in the preventive class of anti-asthmatic drugs, is
essentially a steroid and preferred due to its safety profile. The company has invested
over Rs 20 cr in developing CFC-free asthma products over a period of 12 months. The
product is largely being targeted at the international markets, which are CFC-sensitive
and is awaiting for registration in the European markets. The benefits of the new product
will be obtained in the coming years, since the company expects to increase its exports
through this product.
In December 2000, the company cut the price of its anti-AIDS drug Nevimune (scientific
name : nevirapine) by 34% to Rs 650 for a strip of ten tablets. The price was earlier Rs
985. Cipla has slashed the price of the drug thrice reducing it from the launch price of Rs
1,350 for a strip of ten to the current price. The company attributes this to improvements
in technology that has enabled it to cut costs and pass on the savings to consumers.

Sample Product Photos: Introduction


The following pages contain detailed photographs of the typical medications you may be
ordering through our International Generics Program. While these are the most
commonly used medications, you have many more available to you. Every effort has
been taken to provide you with a representative sample of the medications you will
purchase, and in many cases you will receive the same medication you see in the
following pictures. Frequently, however, there will be aesthetic differences between the
medication you see in this catalogue and the ones you will receive. The reason for these
potential differences is that several manufacturers make the same medication and each
chooses a different packaging or pill color. While we wish we could provide you with a
picture of all the medications from each manufacturer, page number and feasibility
constraints do not permit us to do so. Keep in mind that we select ONLY the best and
most technically advanced manufacturers of generic medications. Our selection process
as previously described, ensures that all the medications you will receive are made in
FDA-approved manufacturing facilities, giving you peace of mind that comes with
dealing with a company whose top priorities are your safety and health.

Understanding Your Medication Packaging

01 CHEMICAL NAME - The chemical name of a medication refers to the active


ingredient(s) it contains. Chemical or scientific names are used to give an accurate
description of a substance's composition. Example: Atorvastatin Calcium is the chemical
name for Lipitor or Indian brand names such as Atorlip. Therefore Atorvastatin is the
name that identifies your medication regardless of the brand names manufacturers assign
to it.
02 STRENGTH - This is the amount of active ingredient in the medication. Usually in
mg or ug. Example: Atorlip 20mg contains 20mg of its respective active ingredient.
03 MANUFACTURER - This is the company that makes the medication in question.
Example: the manufacturer of Atorlip in India is Cipla Limited.
04 INDIA BRAND NAME - This is the name or branding the Indian manufacturer has
given to the generically equivalent medication. Example: Atorlip-20 is the brand name
Cipla Limited. has given to their generic equivalent of Lipitor 20mg.
05 EXPIRY DATE - This is an approximate date to discard the medication based on the
date of manufacture. Products generally should not be used after their expiry date. It is
also important to consider that despite an expiry date that has not yet lapsed, a product
may no longer be effective due to the conditions in which it has been stored. In certain
exceptions, you can use some products for a short time after their expiry date has lapsed.
In case of doubt, check with your health professional.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there any delivery guarantee?


Yes! We are indeed able to extend our delivery guarantee. If you fail to receive your
package within 30 days following the shipping date, the dispensing pharmacy will reship
the same order at no additional charge. The 30 day time frame is to ensure that your order
has time to clear possible random spot checks at customs or any FDA inspections.
2. Are generics and brand-name drugs the same?
- Same Active Ingredients, Different Package - A generic drug contains the same active
ingredients in the same dosage forms and strengths as the brand-name drug. Since they
have the same active ingredients, generic drugs can be used by patients of all ages to
achieve the same medical effects provided by brand-name drugs. Manufacturers do add
small amounts of inactive ingredients for specific purposes, such as flavor and color. As a
result, brand-name drugs and their generic equivalents often look different. Because these
ingredients are inactive, they usually do not pose any risk for patients. Talk with your
doctor or pharmacist to determine if the generic drug you are looking is appropriate
generic for you.
3. Why should you choose generic drugs over brand-name drugs?
The number one beneficial reason for choosing generic drugs is cost effectiveness.
Consumers who choose generic drugs and fill their prescriptions at retail pharmacies
realize annual savings in the billions. By choosing a generic medication, you:
- Often save on your prescription co-payment
- Help keep medical care more affordable for everyone
- Get the same quality and effectiveness as that of a brand-name drug

4. How do you know generics are safe?


FDA approval The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves both brandname and generic drugs before they are marketed in the United States. The FDA requires
that generic equivalent drugs contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs.
Furthermore, the FDA requires that generic drugs be absorbed and used by the body in
the same way as brand-name drugs. These requirements ensure that generic drugs will be
as safe and effective as brand-name drugs.

5. Can your Company accept my insurance?


No, at this time we do not have arrangements with health care insurance companies or
PBMs (Prescription Benefit Management companies). Your insurance company,
however, may accept our invoices to refund you.
6. Does your Company offer medical advice to customers?
No, we do not give medical advice. None of the information provided on this website is
intended as medical advice. We strongly recommend that no one should use medications
of any description without first seeking the advice of a qualified health care professional.
7. Do you charge sales tax?

No, it is illegal for a pharmacy to mail a narcotic or controlled substance to a U.S.
resident.
9. Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship our medications internationally. Please call us at 1-866-799-3435 and Use
Discount Code 10786 and ask one of our customer service representatives for more
details.
10. Why do the pills I received look different than the ones I get from my local
pharmacy?
Firstly, if you are used to brand name pills and you have ordered a generic from us, the
pills we send you WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. Generics do not look the same as the
brand name products, even though they have the SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT and
work EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. Some pills may have different shapes as well as
different colors, but all will have the same ingredients and will provide the same benefits.
When comparing different generics, they WILL GENERALLY LOOK DIFFERENT if
they are made by two different companies.
11. Is my personal information kept confidential?
The personal information you give us will only be viewed by authorized employees of
our company for the purpose of completing your order. We do not sell, trade, or rent your
personal information to others.
