If you’re wondering if sourcing your meds from IsraelPharm makes sense for you, here are some things to consider.
Affordable pricing
It’s well known that prescribed medications cost more for US patients than in any other first-world country. Here in Israel, the State has imposed tight controls on retail pharmacy pricing, due mainly to the nature of Israel’s universal health care, which is highly subsidized by the government’s budget. In effect, prices for all approved drugs we can sell are capped, and in general, are between fifty and eighty percent lower than the retail prices in US pharmacies. QUICK TIP: Scroll down to explore the savings on a wide range of our most frequently-sold drugs.Range of products
The range of drugs made available to Israeli citizens closely matches the spectrum of both the US and the EU. In fact, it’s often possible to get newer drugs from us than from US pharmacies, thanks to the more centralized determination of the drug basket. The basket of drugs approved for general use is updated at least twice each year and takes into account both new drug releases and patterns of demand. In other words, if there’s a radical change in disease profiles or frequency (think = Long Covid and type 2 diabetes) or new releases (think = JAK inhibitors), or even shifts in prescribing patterns (think = off-label use), there is a much greater chance of a quick response from the expert committee that determines what goes into the Israeli basket of drugs. In the US, it is more of a piecemeal process that’s left up to the thousands of healthcare funds that provide insurance coverage. So newer drugs tend to hit our shelves faster.ÂQuality
We can’t emphasize strongly enough that everything we sell has met the very strict controls that apply to pharmaceuticals in Israel. There are multiple government bodies charged with the responsibility of maintaining drug standards and ensuring compliance with all regulations. Here at IsraelPharm, both for our direct retail operation and for our internet clientele, we only dispense drugs under the supervision of a registered pharmacist inside our licensed pharmacy. We require proper prescriptions from licensed physicians and only dispense in the quantities and strengths that the physician has authorized. All of our drugs must be listed in the Israeli National Drugs Registry, and our premises are inspected regularly and thoroughly to ensure that stocks on our shelves are safely stored, in date, and permitted.Safety
There have been numerous reported instances where drugs supplied by internet sources have caused serious risks, and in some sad cases, fatal outcomes. The Pharmaceutical Journal (the official journal of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in the UK) has reported that there is a ‘pandemic of tragedy’ where in the past decade, many people have died after taking drugs, with the deaths being largely due to gaps in online drug supply regulations. Unfortunately, many internet drug vendors set up their operations in countries where there is little or no regulatory control. Last year, Interpol launched Operation Pangea XV, which was a coordinated crackdown on illicit online pharmacies. As a result, they made more than 7,800 seizures of illicit and misbranded medicines and healthcare products, totaling more than 3 million individual units. They shut down or removed more than 4,000 web links containing adverts for illicit products. When you place an order with IsraelPharm, you can rest assured that every step of the process is strictly controlled and regulated, and the product you ordered is exactly what you will get.Fast and Safe Delivery Globally
