For Your Safety
The primary goal of CANARX is to ensure public safety.
Medications are packaged by the manufacturer, distributed by government-regulated wholesalers, prescribed by practicing prescribers, labeled and dispensed by licensed pharmacists, and delivered directly to the end-user in the sealed, original manufacturer’s packaging.
In addition, CANARX professionals regularly inspect all licensed pharmacies to ensure that safety standards and all American/source country regulations are met. To place an international order, each prescription follows the equivalent fulfillment process as in America (Tier 1 countries as designated by Congress). Therefore, each international order must be reviewed and prescribed by a practicing licensed prescriber, dispensed by a practicing licensed pharmacist, then packaged at an accredited licensed pharmacy and shipped directly to the patient.
Protecting Patients The CANARX quality assurance team of doctors and pharmacists developed and monitor a carefully restricted formulary of over 300 widely used brand-name maintenance medications.

- Acute medications (antibiotics)
- Controlled substances (narcotics)
- Targeted substances (benzodiazepines)
- Medications requiring refrigeration

- Precursor substances (Allegra-D)

Others may offer these products, but we don’t. Our goal is to operate in the safest way possible. Thorough research and decades of experience guide us to providing the soundest formulary possible. In addition, the medications we do offer are closely monitored.
When a recall or concern of any kind is issued anywhere, we reach out to patients individually and replace the medications at no cost. This is done even when the law or governmental guidance does not require it. Our reputation is based on prudent protocols like this that further illustrate the CANARX commitment to patient safety.

The CANARX computer system (GRA) is a series of real-time, queue-based electronically updated operating programs.
The GRA tracks applications and order processing, eligibility, formulary adjustments, safety protocols, product pricing, and, in short, administers all facets of the CANARX network. It is accessible on a 24/7 basis throughout the contracted CANARX network.
Incorporated within the GRA is a mandatory U.S. Drug Utilization Review (DUR) provided through contracts with First Databank of California and operated by CANARX staff pharmacists. This ensures maximum safety is maintained.
