MEDITrust, a major mail-order pharmacy, promises low drug prices and dispensing fees for people who order drugs via mail. Its arrival has created some strong opposition in Quebec. The Canadian Pharmaceutical Association says the arrival of mail-order companies may give community pharmacists an opportunity to promote the benefits of face-to-face contact with pharmacists. The CMA's Dr. Anne Carter says there will always be a need for community pharmacists, who can provide drugs on short notice and provide personal counselling for patients.
MEDITrust是一家大型邮购药房，承诺为通过邮件订购药品的人提供低价药品和配药费。它的到来在魁北克引发了一些强烈反对。加拿大制药协会表示，邮购公司的到来可能会给社区药剂师一个机会，来宣传与药剂师面对面接触的好处。加拿大医学协会的安妮·卡特博士说，社区药剂师将永远不可或缺，他们可以在短时间内提供药品，并为患者提供个人咨询服务。
