My husband and I entered into the so called donut hole last year and both are on Eliquis. I asked my PCP about drugs from Canada and he gave me information about a pharmacy that other of his patients had used successfully. LifeRx is the one we are using to get Apixaban/generic Eliquis. They offer several options as to amount, strength and source for the drug including the UK, India and, of course, Canada. It took awhile and some calls to their help line to order from their somewhat confusing website and at the time the payment methods included American Express as the only credit card they would accept. The other option was to use wire transfer which is what we use. I received notice that they now do not accept any credit card for payment. You must provide them with a prescription from your doctor...ours gave us one on a full 8X10 sheet. Easily legible and fax-friendly. LifeRx notifies us when we are eligible for refills and the refill process is quick and easy. The cost of my 3 month supply was under $70 the first time but the cost increased the next time to $76. This included shipping. The price fluctuates. Expect a wait time between 2-3 weeks to receive. I'll admit I was nervous about ordering from them and was anxious waiting for the shipment to get here but we are very satisfied with the price and the help line is available. Good luck.

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.

@blinken I appreciate this information! But I am confused; the article @colleenyoung recommended 12/4/23 about safe pharmacies said that it is illegal to ship prescription medication’s over the border. How have you gotten around this regulation, please? 🙏🏻
