We can happily blame 2020 for people ordering prescriptions online in 2021.
What started as a compulsion during the pandemic has now turned into a routine for people.
As per our internal survey, 53% of Canadians who had not used online pharmacy platforms before the year 2020 are now using them for the sake of convenience.
However, according to ASOP (Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies), there are 35000 online pharmacies around the world but only 1400 of them are safe and legal.
