Why Choose RXshop.md
Choosing where to buy medications online matters — especially when your health is involved. After 17 years and tens of thousands of orders, we believe customers choose RXshop.md for six concrete reasons: our continuous operating history, our medical team, our supplier relationships, our pricing, our shipping reliability, and our customer support. This page covers each in detail.
1. Seventeen Years of Continuous Operation
Online pharmacies come and go — the average lifespan of a scam pharmacy is measured in months, not years. RXshop has been operating continuously since 2009. That is more than 17 years of:
- Processing customer orders
- Managing supplier relationships
- Handling refunds, reships, and customer service
- Maintaining technical infrastructure
- Adapting to regulatory and shipping changes globally
This longevity is itself a trust signal. Pharmacies that mistreat customers, dispense counterfeit medications, or run scams do not survive 17 years — word travels fast on the internet, and bad actors are exposed quickly. The fact that we are still here, still serving customers, still receiving orders from past customers, tells you something that no marketing claim could.
During those 17 years we have weathered many changes — payment processor restrictions, shipping disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory shifts in source jurisdictions, and increasing scrutiny on online pharmacy operations generally. Through all of it, we have continued to operate, continued to ship, and continued to honour our commitments to customers.
2. Our Medical Advisory Team
RXshop has built a team of 8 medical advisors covering the major specialty areas relevant to our customers:
- Cardiovascular medicine — hypertension, heart failure, dyslipidaemia, arrhythmias
- Endocrinology — diabetes, thyroid disorders, hormone replacement
- Psychiatry — depression, anxiety, attention disorders, sleep medicine
- Dermatology — acne, psoriasis, eczema, hair loss
- Infectious disease — antibiotics, antivirals, HIV management, hepatitis
- Men's and women's health — reproductive medicine, hormonal therapy, sexual health
- Pain management — chronic pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders
- Primary care — general medication consultation and review
Our medical team contributes to our category content, reviews medication information for clinical accuracy, and ensures that what we publish aligns with current clinical guidelines (FDA, NICE, ESC, ADA, WHO). Their profiles and credentials are publicly listed on the Our Doctors page.
Important honest disclosure: While the medical team provides editorial oversight for our information content, we are not a clinical service. We cannot diagnose your condition, prescribe medications for you, or provide individual medical consultation. For those services, please see a licensed clinician in your jurisdiction. We provide medications and information; your clinician provides individualised care.
3. Established Manufacturer Relationships
The quality of any pharmacy depends on its supplier chain. RXshop has long-term relationships with the largest and most respected generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in India:
| Manufacturer | Notable Products | Regulatory Status |
|---|---|---|
| Cipla | Respiratory, HIV, cardiovascular, oncology generics | FDA-approved facilities, WHO-GMP, listed on NSE/BSE |
| Sun Pharmaceutical | Modafinil (Modalert), CNS, dermatology, ophthalmics | FDA-approved facilities, WHO-GMP, Forbes Global 2000 |
| Dr. Reddy's Laboratories | Cardiovascular, oncology, gastroenterology, dermatology | FDA-approved facilities, NYSE-listed, WHO-GMP |
| Centurion Laboratories | Cenforce sildenafil, men's health generics | CDSCO-regulated, WHO-GMP certified |
| HAB Pharmaceuticals | Artvigil (armodafinil), CNS specialty | CDSCO-regulated, established export history |
| Intas Pharmaceuticals | Armod armodafinil, oncology generics | FDA-approved facilities, WHO-GMP |
These are not obscure or unverifiable companies. They are publicly traded, internationally regulated, and supply medications to US, UK, European, and African markets. You can verify their corporate status independently through stock exchanges, FDA establishment databases, and CDSCO records.
Several of our suppliers operate FDA-approved manufacturing facilities that produce US-market generics under separate brand names. The pharmaceutical compound in your bottle is the same molecule, manufactured under the same quality standards, that is sold in US pharmacies — just at a substantially different price point.
4. Substantial Pricing Advantage
The most concrete reason customers choose RXshop is price. Generic medications dispensed through our international supply chain typically cost 70-95% less than equivalent medications from US retail pharmacies.
| Medication | US Retail (90-day) | RXshop (90-day) | Approximate Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sildenafil 100 mg (Viagra equivalent) | $1,500+ | $80-120 | ~92% |
| Tadalafil 20 mg (Cialis equivalent) | $1,800+ | $90-140 | ~93% |
| Modafinil 200 mg (Provigil equivalent) | $1,200+ | $100-180 | ~88% |
| Atorvastatin 20 mg (Lipitor equivalent) | $400+ | $30-50 | ~88% |
| Finasteride 1 mg (Propecia equivalent) | $200+ | $20-40 | ~85% |
Price comparisons are illustrative based on common US retail pharmacy pricing for branded medications versus RXshop generic pricing as of 2026. Actual prices vary; check current product pages for accurate quotes.
These savings exist because of how the international generic pharmaceutical supply chain works (covered in detail on our Is RXshop Legit page) — not because we cut corners on quality. The same molecule, manufactured by the same kind of regulated facilities, simply costs less when sourced directly without US distribution markups, marketing costs, and brand royalties.
5. Worldwide Shipping
RXshop ships to customers in most countries worldwide. Typical shipping timelines:
- United States: 10-21 business days (depending on shipping method and customs)
- United Kingdom and EU: 10-18 business days
- Canada, Australia, New Zealand: 12-21 business days
- South America: 14-28 business days
- Africa, Middle East: variable, depending on customs and postal infrastructure
- Asia: 7-14 business days from regional warehouses
Every order includes a tracking number. We use established postal services and courier networks depending on destination. Customs handling is included — we package shipments correctly and provide documentation as needed.
Some destinations have specific restrictions or customs handling considerations. We monitor regulatory changes and adjust our shipping methods to maintain delivery reliability. For specific shipping policies see our Shipping page.
6. Customer Support and Order Resolution
We are a service business — the difference between a scam pharmacy and a legitimate one is how we treat customers when things do not go perfectly. Our customer support handles:
- Order status enquiries — we can look up tracking and shipping detail at any time
- Lost or delayed packages — reship at no charge once a reasonable transit window has passed without delivery
- Damaged packaging — replacement at no charge with documentation
- Quality concerns — refund or replacement when legitimate quality issues are reported
- Order modifications — for orders not yet shipped, we accommodate changes
- General questions — about products, dosing, interactions, alternatives
You can contact support through our Contact Us page. We respond to all enquiries — we have done so for 17 years and continue to do so. This responsiveness is part of why our customers stay with us.
What Makes Us Different From Other International Pharmacies
You have choices when it comes to international online pharmacies. Here is what we believe sets RXshop apart from less-reputable alternatives:
- Length of operation: 17 years versus many competitors that are months or years old.
- Transparent supplier relationships: We name our manufacturers openly. Many competitors are vague about their supply chain.
- Medical team backing: 8 advisors review our content. Many competitors have no clinical oversight at all.
- No controlled substances: We do not dispense narcotics, controlled stimulants, or controlled benzodiazepines. Pharmacies that do are typically operating outside any legitimate framework.
- Continuous operation history: Same domain, same business, same operational continuity since 2009.
- Editorial standards: Our category content reflects current clinical guidelines, not marketing copy.
- Customer-first dispute resolution: We resolve issues through reship and refund. Difficult cases get human attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long have you actually been operating?
Continuously since 2009. You can verify this through Wayback Machine historical snapshots of our domain. The same business, the same domain, the same continuity. 17 years and counting.
Why are your prices so much lower than US pharmacies?
For four reasons. First, we dispense generic medications, not branded ones — the active ingredient is identical but without brand premium. Second, we source directly from manufacturers without US distribution markups. Third, our suppliers do not bear US marketing and lobbying costs. Fourth, we operate without the US insurance and pharmacy benefit manager system overhead. Together these factors typically translate to 70-95% lower prices.
What if I am uncertain whether to order?
Start small. Order a single low-cost item to evaluate our service. Many of our long-term customers began with cautious small orders before expanding to larger purchases. You judge the experience for yourself rather than relying on our claims.
Can I cancel an order before it ships?
Yes — contact us promptly through Contact Us. Orders that have not yet shipped can be cancelled with full refund. Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation is not possible (the package is in transit), but if it does not arrive we will reship or refund.
Do you offer prescription consultations?
No. We are a dispensing pharmacy, not a clinical service. For individual medical consultation, you need a licensed clinician in your jurisdiction. We can provide medication information based on our category guides and our medical team's editorial work, but we cannot diagnose your condition or prescribe medication for you specifically.
How can I be confident the medication I receive is genuine?
You can verify the manufacturer details on the packaging against the publicly listed Indian pharmaceutical companies we work with. You can also have your medication tested independently if you have specific concerns — many community pharmacies and laboratories offer this service. The generic equivalents we dispense have been used by tens of thousands of our customers over 17 years, and would not have generated the consistent positive feedback they have if they were not therapeutically effective.
