Don't do business with sites that do not provide access to a registered pharmacist to answer questions. Avoid sites that do not identify with whom you are dealing and do not provide a U.S. address and phone number to contact if there's a problem. Be careful of sites that use impressive-sounding terminology to disguise a lack of good science or those that claim the government, the medical profession, or research scientists have conspired to suppress a product. Talk to your health-care professional before using any medication for the first time. After establishing an account, users must submit a valid prescription.
Doctors can call it in, or users can deliver it to the pharmacy by fax or mail.
Some online pharmacies send products from a central spot, while others allow users to pick the prescription up at a local drugstore. Prescriptions usually are delivered within three days, often for no shipping charge. For an extra fee, many sites will deliver overnight. Pharmacies that enroll in the program must agree to fairly rigid conditions before being accepted into the program. Any Medication Tell your health care provider and pharmacist about all prescription and nonprescription medicines that you take and why you take them.
