How come your medications cost so little?

Because the reality is that most prescription medication doesn't cost much to the pharmacy. The industry charges whatever they want, and insurance picks up the tab. Everybody wins except you. We sell the same medication you find at the big-box stores but pass the savings on to you.

 

Is this legal?

Absolutely. All of our prescriptions are filled by licensed pharmacists right here in Illinois from a prescription order filled out by your doctor.

 

Can I order class II drugs?

No, we're not monsters. We will not fill bulk orders for controlled substances. If that is what you came for  please consider abuse counseling.

 

Why only 6 month and 1 year Supplies?

We buy in bulk, so you can buy in bulk. Thats how we are able to offer such low prices.

 

So how does this work?

It's easy. pick out your medication/medications and the amount you want add it to your cart and checkout. We contact your doctor to verify the prescription and don't charge you until it ships.

 

Q: What is COLLECTIVE PHARM?

A: COLLECTIVE PHARM is an extended supply prescription savings plan by Potter Drug. It achieves greater savings than other pharmacy discount plans by two primary tactics:

1. Lowers our pharmacies overhead costs on a per prescription basis because you are getting a 6 or 12 month prescription all at once and we pass the savings on to you.

2. Dramatically decreases administration costs by cutting out the middle man (pharmacy benefit managers).  This allows us to sell directly to you at a fair price.
