Even those in the business of Internet drug sites realize the industry needs to be careful. For starters, you can kill someone. Despite a family history of heart problems, he got Viagra from an online pharmacy, according to the Chicago Tribune. Online pharmacies operate much as mail-order pharmacies. In fact, the drugstore chains will use their mail-order distribution centers to fill Internet orders.
Online pharmacies tout themselves as more convenient.
You can e-mail the pharmacist. In some you can talk with one on a toll-free call. To get the prescription, customers type in the prescription and doctor information. Online pharmacists verify the prescription just as a retail pharmacy does. They call the doctor, check his record with Drug Enforcement Administration and discuss potential drug interactions.
