Yes. You must provide a valid prescription from a physician licensed to practice medicine and to prescribe medications in the place where you live. No order will be processed without a valid prescription.
You may order only as much as your physician prescribes for you. We can send a maximum of a three month (90-day) supply. This is in order to save you on shipping charges and to conform to FDA regulations regarding personal importation. We can however have your repeats filled for you as they come up. Also, all drugs will be shipped in their original manufacturer’s sealed packages.
We will contact you by email before your supply runs out to ask if you’re ready for a refill. For customers without email access, we offer an automated refill reminder telephone service. This service will call you at least three weeks in advance to remind you to order your refill. Alternatively, you can order a refill by calling our toll-free customer service number at 1-888-372-2252 or emailing us at refills@tcds.com.
You may change or cancel a new order within 24 hours of placing it. Refills are processed as soon as received and cannot be cancelled or changed. Please note that for safety reasons medications cannot be returned. But, of course, our money back guarantee applies if your medication arrives in anything other than perfect condition.
TCDS will not handle habit-forming or narcotic pharmaceuticals, also known as scheduled drugs or controlled substances in some countries. We specialize in chronic care medicines that many people must take to sustain or improve their lives.
We cannot accept insurance coverage from another country. However, we will provide you with a receipt so that you may make an insurance claim.
We accept E CHECK (direct debit from your account). All charges will show as TCDS INTERNATIONAL LLC.
Absolutely not. The price you see for your medication includes everything and shipping is always free for orders over $50.
Orders under $50 incur a $10 shipping charge.
Because our pharmacists cannot see you in person, they need to be able to assess your prescription and the potential drug interactions based upon the information you provide. Our pharmacists may even contact your physician if necessary.
You are shipping brand name drugs from other countries. Are they the same as what I can buy at home?
In short, the majority of the brand name drugs that you would be used to seeing at your corner pharmacy are sold in most nations around the world. For different markets, due to language and cultural differences they may have a different name or a different colored box, or even a different presentation (e.g. in Canada, the U.S. drug “Prilosec” is called “Losec” and is a pill rather than a capsule, even though it is the same drug made by the same manufacturer).
In almost all cases, the chemical name is exactly the same, which means it is the same drug. There are a few instances where a chemical is called a different name in a different market (e.g. one of the chemicals in an asthma inhaler named “Combivent” is called “albuterol” in North America but “salbutamol” in the rest of the world). These differences, however, are rare. Most brand name drugs (although called different names in different markets) are even manufactured in the exact same plants but packaged differently.
Because of differences in patent law, many countries produce generic versions of brand name drugs that are not available in the U.S. These versions are usually produced for a domestic market and for export abroad to countries with similar patent legislation. TCDS has positioned our pharmacies in many different parts of the world to allow our customers to take advantage of the exceptional savings these generic drugs can offer.
TCDS offers generic drugs produced in the UK, New Zealand, and India, countries with large, world-class pharmaceutical industries. These drugs are subject to the same stringent approval and regulatory process as brand name drugs and are used by millions of people on a daily basis. Like the drugs you buy and use in America, these drugs are manufactured in facilities with FDA, WHO (World Health Organization), and numerous other regulatory agency approvals.
TCDS was designed with two very important goals in mind; maximum savings for our customers and unparalleled choice of product compared to where our customers live. We have been in business since 2000 and have saved hundreds of thousands of Americans tens of millions of dollars, safely and efficiently. We have a long and illustrious history which we only plan on improving upon. Our track record speaks for itself.
