About eDrugSearch
A prescription drug price comparison engine helping Americans find affordable medication online since 2007.
eDrugSearch Is an Advocate for You
eDrugSearch is a price comparison website, free to start, that helps American consumers find the lowest prices on prescription drugs from international and Canadian online pharmacies.
Launched in 2007 by CEO and founder Cary Byrd, eDrugSearch changed how a growing number of Americans buy prescription drugs by giving them a safer way to compare low-cost medications online from pharmacies that meet our safety requirements.
eDrugSearch has been referenced by The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Dave Ramsey Show, Yahoo! Finance, Medium, Consumer Reports and many others. We are a stakeholder in the online, consumer-driven health care industry, which works to create a secure internet environment that encourages innovation and new business models that serve public health.
20 Years of eDrugSearch, 2007–2027
eDrugSearch turns 20 in January 2027. For two decades we’ve done one thing: help Americans compare what pharmacies charge for the medication their doctor prescribed.
- 2007: Cary Byrd launches eDrugSearch.com to compare prices at licensed online pharmacies.
- Since then: eDrugSearch and Cary have been covered or cited by The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Dave Ramsey Show, Consumer Reports and others, and Cary was invited to a Consumer Reports health summit and the Health 2.0 Conference.
- 2026: the new eDrugSearch launched on November 12, 2026, with dated prices, a permanent record of every price check, free listings for pharmacies, and U.S. options shown first whenever they cost less.

How We Collect Our Information
Prescription Drug Prices
Prices on eDrugSearch.com come from the online pharmacies in our database, and every price shows the date it was last checked. We check each price directly on the pharmacy’s own website for the exact drug, strength and pack size, and we keep a permanent record of every check. Prices can change after the checked date, so always confirm the final price, including shipping, with the pharmacy. If you spot an incorrect price, please email us at support@edrugsearch.com.
When a U.S. Option Costs Less
Ordering from abroad isn’t always cheapest. New U.S. generics, drug makers’ own cash programs and low-cost U.S. pharmacies can beat foreign prices. When they do, we show those options first on the drug’s page. We don’t get paid for them, and we don’t use affiliate links.
Drug Facts
Drug facts such as generic names, makers, strengths and whether a U.S. generic is approved come from FDA records (Drugs@FDA, the Orange Book, the NDC Directory and DailyMed labeling) and are reviewed by our PharmD Review Board. We don’t list controlled substances, and nothing on eDrugSearch is medical advice.
Pharmacy Checks
Every pharmacy we list is certified by CIPA or by another online-pharmacy accreditation program we accept and has no safety blockers such as an FDA import alert. Each profile shows what we could and couldn’t confirm about its license. See how we choose pharmacies.
Online Pharmacy Profiles
eDrugSearch.com provides detailed profiles of online pharmacies. Policies, procedures, contact details and other information are collected directly from each pharmacy’s website and then sent to the pharmacy for review and confirmation.
Ownership, Affiliations and Revenue Source
eDrugSearch.com is a privately held company based in San Antonio, Texas. We are not associated with any pharmacy or any maker or distributor of health products. Our income comes from paid memberships. Pharmacies don’t pay to be listed.
Public Comment
We welcome comments on our evaluations and listings from academic and commercial researchers, consumer advocacy groups, healthcare professionals, manufacturers, government agencies and anyone else in the field. Please send questions or comments to support@edrugsearch.com.
