Online Pharmacies – A Boon for Elderly People<\/p><\/div>\n
For many elderly people, going outside even to run to a pharmacy is either impossible or incredibly risky to their health.<\/p>\n

But how?<\/p>\n
Savings to share<\/u><\/h2>\n
There are many reasons why online pharmacies can offer such great discounts.<\/p>\n
Government involvement, low operating costs, and selective buying are a few of the main reasons.<\/p>\n
Places like Canada where they have universal health care benefit from low prescription costs, since the government regulates the price that each medication will cost.<\/p>\n
In Canada, the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board ensures that even new medications cannot be endlessly increased in price beyond the cost of inflation.<\/p>\n
