About RX
Origin of Top Buy RX:
Top Buy RX was founded for the millions of Americans without prescription drug benefits. Our goal is to provide the
highest-quality drugs at the lowest possible prices, so that all anyone can afford the medications they need. We are not
a pharmacy, rather top buy RX is a direct connection to the world's leading pharmaceutical suppliers.
Why our prescription drugs are so inexpensive:
A large part of our cost savings comes from our business model. Because we do not have the overhead of a pharmacy, our
operating costs are kept at a bare minimum. Our only advertising is through word-of-mouth. Maybe more importantly, we buy
our drugs from the source. Like nearly everything else these days - from Nike shoes to plasma screen televisions - many of
the prescription drugs that Americans buy are manufactured in Asia. By going directly to the source, we cut out middleman
markups and the price discrimination markup drug manufacturers impose on the affluent US market.
Many of the drugs sold in Western markets are sold at 10,000 to 100,000 times the cost of production. The average Indian
consumer earns about 1/60th of what the average American consumer earns. Thus, drugs sold in India cannot be sold at the
hefty markup they carry in the US market.
Additionally, while Top Buy RX hopes for at least modest profits, our overarching goal is to provide prescription drugs
to Americans who would not otherwise be able to afford them. This philosophy, along with our business model, allows us to
greatly reduce the typical industry markups.

Is it Legal?
In the late 1980s, the FDA put a new policy into place which allowed US consumers to import up to a 90-day supply of
prescription drugs for personal use (i.e. not for resale). This policy was designed to allow AIDS patients and others who
suffered from chronic illnesses to import drugs which had not yet undergone FDA approval. However, with the emergence of
the Internet, many companies began to offer the US consumers less expensive prescriptions from abroad.; The FDA began to
crack down, asserting that the policy only applied to non-FDA approved drugs (which protects US pharmaceutical manufacturers
from foreign competition and keeps prices artificially high).
The US Congress responded by authoring a plethora of bills stating that the FDA should not prohibit the importation of
prescription drugs from abroad as long as such drugs are for personal use (i.e. in no larger than 90-day quantities). While
the official FDA policy has not yet changed, the agency has not interfered with importation for personal use as long as the
purchaser has a prescription for the drugs being imported. In fact, some
local and state governments in the US have
begun to buy prescription drugs for their public employees from abroad in order to cut costs, and many more have stated
their intentions to begin doing so. Recent Developments --

Importing prescriptions has become a very hot topic recently, receiving a lot of attention in the presidential primary
