Experience ordering Lexpro & Benicar

	By (OR, United States)
	Customer since 1/6/2009 - (9 orders)
	Ordered from
	Ordered Benicar

It was straightforward and simple to order two prescription medications that are commonly used in the United States but are not available in generic form and are therefore expensive even with insurance. Benicar (Olmesartan) is an antihypertensive medication in the ARB class (Angiotensin Receptor Blocker). Lexapro (Escitalopram) is an antidepressive medication in the SSRI class (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor).
I choose an Australian pharmacy in the hopes of reducing the risk of fraud. I promptly received a shipping tracking number only to find out that the number would not be utilized until the package reached US Customs. Until a telephone call to a very helpful support person answered my questions, there was some concern of fraud when I continued to receive “invalid number” when attempting to use the tracking number. The package that I did receive was shipped from India from an Indian pharmacy and not from Australia.
The medication was made by an Indian pharmaceutical company. A brief search on the Internet reveled that it was a large company making a multitude of medications but there was nothing I was able to find about quality control.
The medications were delivered in labeled blister packs of 10 pills each. The pills of the two medications were of the same size, shape, and color without any identifying markings.
After 20 days of taking the medications, I can verify that the Benicar generic is working as well as the name brand Benicar I had previously used to control blood pressure.

Cost comparison:
US Benicar 40mg $2.33/pill. PharmacyEscrow.com $1.14/pill including shipping.
US Benicar using Medicare Part D insurance $0.98/pill
US Lexapro 20mg $3.07/pill. PharmacyEscrow.com $1.28/pill including shipping
Will I use PharmacyEscrow.com again? Yes. There is no reason to spend extra dollars on a patent protected medication when the rest of the world has generic versions available.
