Good morning. Have you actually been able to verify the legitimacy of LifeRx. The address listed on their website Unit 208, 4656 Westwinds Drive, NE, Calgary, AB Canada, T3J 3Z5 takes you to an industrial park and none of the businesses are LifeRx. Additionally, all pharmacies located in Alberta Canada can be verified by the Alberta College of Pharmacy, which LifeRx does not come up on their website.
LifeRx does not come up as a registered pharmacy. The bottom of the homepage of LifeRx Pharmacy states "Prescription medications and over the counter products dispensed from Canada through our affiliated Canadian pharmacy which is duly licensed by Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association. LifeRx Pharmacy also uses affiliated international pharmacies that are approved by regulatory authorities in their respective countries.In addition to having your prescriptions dispensed from our affiliated Canadian dispensing pharmacy, your medications are also dispensed from international pharmacies and fulfillment centers that are approved by the regulatory bodies from in their respective countries. LifeRx Pharmacy works with dispenses medications from fulfillment centers around the world in a variety of countries including and but not limited to Canada, USA, India, and the United Kingdom."
I fear the quality of the medication cannot be confirmed nor where the medication is coming from since it could be coming from Canada, USA, India, and the UK.

Hello, I have been ordering from LifeRx for a few years. It was recommended by my primary care doctor. He provides my husband and I with written prescriptions large enough to be photographed to send to them. The Apixaban is manufactured in India by Natco. Before ordering from them I did research the company and you might be well served to look into the Natco company. I understand your hesitance to ordering drugs from other than US big pharma, as did I but in my delving into certifications and licensing regulations which, understandably differ from those in the US or Canada, I was satisfied that the drugs we receive are manufactured by a well-regulated and award-winning company.
It is also evident that my husband and I are well anti-coagulated using Apixaban, known in India as Apigat, evidenced when either of us gets a laceration which is a bit deeper than a simple scratch. The biggest bugaboo in ordering from this company is that they do not accept credit cards. We send checks to Progressive Health Group. The somewhat lengthy time in receiving our orders (3 weeks) is not a problem since we order well in advance of running out of our meds. LifeRx also emails with timely reminders to order refills. Orders are also trackable online. The only time my order was delayed was after it reached the US and for some reason, shipped to California. We live in Wisconsin. I called USPS and the agent traced the shipment. She said that it had been properly addressed to us and couldn't tell me why it went to California.
Thank you for your concern, but considering the immense cost savings involved here, we will continue to use this company. As to this date we have found no reason to change. I suspect that once Apixaban is available in the US, we might reconsider but I have a feeling it will still benefit us to order from abroad, as projected costs for the generic in the US will still be considerably more than how we get it now.
