Frequently Asked Questions

CIPA is a Canadian association of licensed, retail pharmacies. We sell prescription drugs made by the leading name-brand manufacturers, at affordable prices up to prices up to 80 percent less U.S. pharmacies. CIPA member pharmacies have served over one million patients annually since the organization’s founding in 2002, with a perfect safety record. CIPA is also the official verifying organization for all pharmacies that want to advertise on Google’s Canadian Website (www.google.ca).

CIPA certification assures you that the pharmacy provider is licensed, reputable and adheres to stringent safety protocols. All CIPA members are licensed and regulated by the government for safety. CIPA member pharmacies require valid and signed prescriptions, typically for 90-day supplies of drugs and maintenance medications. We do not sell controlled substances. Patient privacy is assured by CIPA members, who follow the same stringent confidentiality and safety procedures as U.S. pharmacies. Additionally, CIPA members do not send any unsolicited email (SPAM) or sell addresses to others. For your safety and privacy, we recommend dealing only with sites displaying the CIPA seal.

CIPA certified websites display the CIPA seal as displayed below.

Since this seal has become so well-known for trustworthiness and integrity, some websites have copied the seal and placed it on their sites. These sites are masquerading as CIPA members but they are not. Always be sure to cross-check the CIPA.com website to ensure that a site selling medications is truly a CIPA member.

CIPA is an association of pharmacies, and is not a pharmacy or wholesaler itself. (For this reason, we do not stock, supply or distribute any pharmaceutical products.) Please contact a member pharmacy displaying the CIPA seal to answer any questions and have your prescription filled.
