20 Years of Honest Drug Price Comparisons, 2007–2027

On January 1, 2027, eDrugSearch turns 20. We started in 2007 to help Americans find licensed online pharmacies and compare what they charge for the exact medication, strength and quantity their doctor prescribed.

For our 20th anniversary we rebuilt the site around one rule: show you the real cost, with the date we checked it, even when the cheapest option isn’t abroad.

Founder Cary Byrd was among the online health authorities and journalists invited to a special briefing at Consumer Reports headquarters, and eDrugSearch has been featured in the news media for helping consumers save safely.

Our Promise: Transparent, Accurate Prices

How we check prices, how we make money, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Real prices, dated

Every price comes from the pharmacy’s own website for the exact drug, strength and pack size, with the date we checked it. We keep a permanent record of every check.

Pharmacies don’t pay us

Listing is free, and no pharmacy can pay for a better rating or a higher spot. Our income comes from paid memberships.

We tell you when the U.S. is cheaper

Some drugs now cost less at U.S. pharmacies or through drug makers’ own programs. When they do, we show those options first, with no paid or affiliate links.

Facts from official sources

Drug facts come from FDA records and are reviewed by our PharmD Review Board. Legal and customs information is checked against FDA and U.S. Customs sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does eDrugSearch work?

Search for your medication, pick the strength and quantity your doctor prescribed, and compare prices from licensed online pharmacies side by side. You then order directly from the pharmacy you choose with a valid prescription.

Is eDrugSearch free to use?

You can start for free. A free account lets you browse drug price ranges and pharmacy profiles, write reviews and set up to 2 price alerts. Paid members ($14.95 a month or $135 a year, or $19.95 a month or $179 a year for a family of up to 4) see which pharmacy has each price, visit pharmacies directly and get unlimited price-drop alerts (refill reminders coming soon).

Why are prices lower at Canadian and international pharmacies?

Many countries regulate or negotiate what brand-name drugs can cost, so the same medication often sells for far less outside the United States. The biggest savings are usually on brand-name drugs.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. The licensed pharmacies we list require a valid prescription from your doctor before they fill an order for prescription medication.

Is it legal to buy prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy?

Millions of Americans save money each year by filling prescriptions through licensed pharmacies in Canada and other countries. Federal law generally doesn’t allow individuals to import prescription drugs, but under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply. Congress has also declared in federal law that enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health. To stay on the safe side, order only from a licensed pharmacy, use a valid prescription from your doctor, and keep your order to a 90-day supply. See the FDA’s personal importation guidance.

Will the January 2027 customs changes affect my order?

Starting January 20, 2027, international mail entering the U.S. goes through a new electronic customs entry process. Personal prescription orders are not banned, but processing may change. Order refills early and ask your pharmacy how it is preparing.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times vary by pharmacy and destination, and international orders usually take longer than a local pharmacy. Check each pharmacy’s profile for its typical delivery time and order before you run low.

How much can I save?

Savings depend on the drug, strength and quantity. On some brand-name medications, licensed online pharmacies charge up to 90% less than the U.S. list price. For example, we found brand Jardiance 10 mg for $97 for 90 tablets vs. a $1,050 U.S. list price (checked Oct 23, 2026). Some drugs, especially new generics, can cost less in the U.S., and we show you when they do.

How does eDrugSearch make money?

From paid memberships. Pharmacies don’t pay to be listed, and nothing a pharmacy does affects its rating or where it appears.

How accurate are your prices?

We take each price from the pharmacy’s own website for the exact drug, strength and pack size, and show the date we checked it. Prices can change after that date, so always confirm the final price, including shipping, with the pharmacy before you order. If you find a price that’s wrong, tell us and we’ll correct it.

Do you ever recommend U.S. pharmacies?

Yes. When a U.S. pharmacy, a drug maker’s program or a new U.S. generic costs less than ordering from abroad, we show it first on that drug’s page. We don’t get paid for these listings.
