Review

Domain Name Information

The domain name record for this online pharmacy tells us that the site name was registered in 2013. This can sometimes be a fairly good indicator of a more legit business, as Scam pharmacies are more likely to be short-lived. However, on the site, they claim to have been operating the business since 2003, though perhaps they were using a different domain name in the early days.

The domain is registered until 2025 which shows that the owners see a successful future for the store. This adds confidence to the belief that this is a more trustworthy pharmacy because someone running a rip off site wouldn’t register for such a long time into the future.

Less promising information from the record, reveals that a privacy service based in Barbados has been used to keep the owner’s real name and contact details out of the database. This is a common practice for unreliable online stores but doesn’t necessarily mean that there is a problem of trust with this site.

Business Name and Address

It shouldn’t be a problem for a legit business to post their contact details on their store. This pharmacy does give a contact address in Canada.

Checking this address shows us that it is a genuine office location in Canada. It should be noted that they refer to this address as their call center so it isn’t a pharmacy location or necessarily the headquarters of the business.

There is a business name in the copyright notice in the footer of the site. The business name is ‘Farmacia Para El Mundo, S.A.’ and a search reveals a corporate address for this company in Panama. This company has an EU office called ‘Candrug Management Services Limited’ based in London, UK.

This UK company is a genuine and active business which shows up in the British Government database.

On closer inspection of this database entry, we find ‘Paramount Company Searches Ltd’ listed as the secretary of the business. This is a company formations organization which is located at the address given by Candrug Management Services as their location.

This shows that their EU corporate office isn’t a real business location at all, and has been used to make them seem more established. It seems likely that this business is run from Panama, rather than the UK or Canada.

Related Sites

We have discovered a number of other Canadian online pharmacies using the same address on their websites. These other stores are likely owned by the same organization, though they may have just hired the services of the same call center to handle customer support.

Legal Approval and Certification

As this gives the appearance of a Canadian pharmacy they should be following the rules for operating in Canada. They display seals for CIPA and PharmacyChecker on their site. The use of these seals is correct, they do have a membership to these regulatory associations.

Things aren’t entirely good when it comes to regulation, however. LegitScript has taken the view that this online drugstore is a rogue operation. They believe that the store isn’t following the rules for safe and legal operation.

Medication on Sale

This site provides a pretty good range of medicines. Their main categories include antidepressants, asthma drugs, blood pressure pills, cholesterol medication as well as men’s and women’s health pills.

One big downside of this drugstore is that the medication they sell isn’t only dispensed in Canada. They use fulfillment centers in many different parts of the world. These include India, Turkey, Mauritius, Singapore, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The problem with this system, whilst they may claim it reduces their prices, it also increases the likelihood of low quality or counterfeit pills entering their supply chain.

Prescription Requirements

You do need to have a valid prescription for the medications which are marked with an Rx graphic on the store. Prescriptions can be sent to the drugstore using email, fax or postal address. The fax number is toll-free for US-based customers.

It is a sign of a reliable and responsible online pharmacy to check prescriptions before dispensing orders.

CanadianPharmacyKing.com Reviews

There are a few places online CanadianPharmacyKing.com reviews can be found. One of those is the store’s own Facebook page, though there are only five reviews featured they are all positive.

However, a reply to one of these positive comments is a complaint about a mistake an India fulfillment center made, which was not resolved satisfactorily.

Another place to find customer testimonials for this store is Pharmacy Checker. There are more comments posted here and they are far more mixed than those found on Facebook.

The feedback found here seems to be genuine and dates back to 2013. There are more positive than negative comments, but the mixed overall picture is of some concern.

Conclusion

Canadian Pharmacy King does have some things to recommend it. They have proper regulation for a Canadian pharmacy, the site has been around for a while and looks set to stay online for another 6 years at least.

Contrary to the positive, are some factors we can’t ignore. The international fulfillment centers are of some concern, as too is the mixed customer feedback and the suspected Panamanian ownership. We conclude that this drugstore deserves an overall rating of 3.2 stars out of 5. Good, but there are better places to get your medication.
