Affordable Alternatives to Brand Name Atrovastatin are Now Available in Canada

(PRWEB) June 15, 2010 -- Canadian online pharmacy service Pharmacy-Online.ca is now able to provide generic atrovastatin, an alternative to Lipitor, to their American patients. Now patients will be able to lower their cholesterol and their prescription payments.

Cholesterol is found in all humans and is important for the body to function properly but too much cholesterol can lead to health problems such as heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States. Diets high in food from animals, like dairy products, eggs and meat, contribute to high levels of cholesterol and a lack of regular exercise can further compound potential health problems related to high cholesterol.

It is estimated that one in every six adult Americans suffer from high blood cholesterol and many are currently taking cholesterol lowering drugs such as atrovastatin. But with the increasing costs of many brand name pharmaceuticals, how can the average American find a cholesterol lowering drug that improves both their health and their financial future?

Thankfully, online pharmacy service provider Pharmacy-Online.ca is now able to offer their clients an affordable alternative to Lipitor through their Canadian pharmacy partner Richmond Pharmacy. In the United States a patient has to pay $748.71 for 180 tablets of 40mg brand name atorvastatin, while Pharmacy-Online.ca is now able to offer the generic alternative for only $363.18. That’s less than half the price.

Ordering online prescriptions from Canada is a safe and easy way to ensure that you’re getting the prescription drugs you need at a price you can afford. All pharmaceuticals are dispensed by licensed pharmacies, and all require a valid prescription from your doctor. For more information on how you can order generic atorvastatin from Canada please contact Pharmacy Online at 1-866-266-9955.

With all health concerns, prevention is the best medicine. WebMd.com has several tips to help you maintain a healthy cholesterol level and prevent heart disease before problems even arise:

• Watch your portion sizes. Most Americans eat food portions that are TWICE the size that are recommended for good health.

• Eat 5 to 9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.

• Eat oatmeal or whole grains for breakfast. You’ll feel full longer and be less likely to over-eat at lunch.

• Eat nuts. They lower the bad cholesterol while keeping the good cholesterol (just don’t opt for nuts covered in sugar and salt).

• Get moving! Keeping your body at its ideal weight will reduce your chances of clogged arteries.

Pharmacy Online is an online pharmacy service that helps Americans find brand name and generic drugs at lower prices from international licensed pharmacies. Pharmacy-Online.ca is CIPA and Pharmacy Checker certified.
