Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Ridaura from Canada?
90-day cost = 180 capsules at the usual dose of 2 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout.

What is Ridaura used for?
Ridaura (auranofin) is a gold compound taken by mouth. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To manage active rheumatoid arthritis in adults who haven't done well enough on, or can't take, full doses of one or more NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory pain relievers), as part of a wider treatment plan.
Ridaura comes as a 3 mg capsule. The label says it doesn't work right away: benefits may show after 3 to 4 months, and for some people not before 6 months. Boxed warning: Ridaura contains gold and can cause gold toxicity, with signs such as low blood counts, protein or blood in the urine, itching, rash, mouth sores or ongoing diarrhea. The label says lab results should be reviewed before each prescription. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Ridaura from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Health Canada lists Ridaura 3 mg capsules as marketed, by Xediton Pharmaceuticals (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12).
