Prescriptions online?


We can buy so many things online these days.  A handbag, a pair of running shoes, a new watch and the list goes on.  So what about prescription drugs, can they be bought online as well?  The answer is yes, they can.  It can be done legally, and with the expectation that what will be delivered will be the correct product.  Now, having said all that, it is also true that prescription drugs can be sold or bought online illegally.  So how do you know what’s legal and what’s not?  The FDA provides some guidelines to help you as you try to decipher if the website your considering buying from is legitimate or not.  These include: buy in the U.S. only, don’t buy if they don’t require a prescription, and look for understandable privacy and security policies to name a few.  The bottom line is, before making a purchase you should carefully research who you are buying your prescriptions from.
