An overview of the American consumer market reveals that the economy is facing a sluggish period, and the prices of practically every product is on the decline, from men’s shirts, to computer gear and the list is simply staggering. However, the arena of prescription drugs is one area where the prices are always on the upward direction and that too without any limitations.
With the continuous rise of prescription drug prices, the option of online pharmacies perhaps offers one of the best solutions for the average American drug buyers.
An example to this respect is that of Drugstore.com, perhaps one of the largest web sites offering a variety of prescription drugs online. The sales figures of this web site alone are sufficient evidence of the popularity of this online pharmacy, which was observed to jump to 52 percent reaching a staggering 28.5 million dollars in the second quarter and in a period of less than 12 months.
Such has been the popularity of online sales of prescription drugs that today famous names including CVS, Rite-Aid as well as Wal-Mart have their own online pharmacies. Similar trends can also be observed across the border in Canada, where online pharmacies are following suit and doing great business with their American customers.
