eDrugSearch.com, a free search engine and online community for Americans interested in purchasing safe, low-cost prescription drugs from prescreened Canadian pharmacies and other prescreened international pharmacies, shared company data on its top site searches for September 2007.

"In the 10 months since we launched eDrugSearch.com as a safe place for consumers to share information and find affordable drugs online, our visitors have performed hundreds of thousands of searches on our Web site," said Cary Byrd, president of eDrugSearch.com. "As part of our educational mission, we thought it would be useful to share our search data for those interested in tracking trends in online drug sales."

Here are the top 25 searches on eDrugSearch.com for the month of September, including searches for both medications and medical conditions, starting with the most popular search:

1. High blood pressure
2. Abilify
3. Provigil
4. Yasmin
5. Lipitor
6. Lamisil
7. Synthroid
8. Levitra
9. Phentermine
10. Vytorin
11. Topamax
12. Meridia
13. Zoloft
14. Crestor
15. Xenical
16. Zetia
17. Prevacid
18. lisinopril
19. Viagra
20. Plavix
21. Cialis
22. Singulair
23. Risperdal
24. Diovan
25. Casodex

"The list isn't a perfect reflection of the most popular drugs purchased online, largely because of how our site interacts with Google and other search engines," Byrd said. "For example, eDrugSearch.com appears very high in the organic search results for some drugs, but not as high for others. This obviously skews the results. With this caveat, however, we hope that over time our results will shed light on online drug trends."

While many Americans are interested in Canadian pharmacies or other international pharmacies as a means of saving money on their prescriptions, they are often concerned about whether they can trust the quality and safety of the prescription drugs they find online. eDrugSearch.com addresses these concerns by only accepting online pharmacies in the eDrugSearch.com database that pass a rigorous prescreening process -- including proof of home-country government licensing and third-party accreditations.

With more than 47,000 drug listings, eDrugSearch.com brings prescreened pharmacies together in one comprehensive, easy-to-use database. Additionally, eDrugSearch.com offers up-to-the-minute price search, extensive information on drugs and medical conditions and other features that make it the most advanced destination for online pharmacy consumers.
