Aside from its affordable prices, Canada has built a reputation as an innovator of groundbreaking medications. Even teenagers are helping advance new drug therapies.
For example, All Headline News (AHN) reports that 17-year-old Marshall Zhang recently notched first place in the 2011 Sanifo-Aventis BioTalent Challenge, a national science competition. Zhang used a computer program to discover two compounds that may effectively treat cystic fibrosis, which is a lung disease that can result in early death.
Although his innovative treatment would have to pass through years of development and testing before it becomes available on a Canadian internet pharmacy, Zhang was excited about his findings.
"The thrill of knowing that I was on the forefront of current knowledge was absolutely the best thing about my experience," Zhang said, quoted by the media outlet. "Getting a taste of real research has definitely driven me towards pursuing science in the future."
According to Stanford University's School of Medicine, Azmacort, Aerobid and Flovent are popular drugs currently on the market that are designed to treat cystic fibrosis. Individuals who wish to purchase affordable anti-inflammatories may consider shopping through an online Canadian pharmacy.
