Online Pharmacy Dos:
* Check with your doctor before purchasing drugs from an online pharmacy. More than anyone else, your doctor is aware of your medical history and can advise you if a particular medication is suitable for you. And if you have a serious medical condition, it is even more important to inform your doctor before obtaining an online prescription.
* Always check to see that the online pharmacy is staffed by fully licensed professional pharmacists. Reputable online pharmacies.
* Make sure the online pharmacy you select sells only FDA-approved medication. Before ordering an online prescription, also check to see if the website clearly states that the products it sells are made by the bona fide manufacturers of the drug.
* Watch out for counterfeit drugs. There have been numerous cases where online pharmacies have sold counterfeit or fake drugs. These are often ineffective or dangerous to your health. When you receive your online prescription, check the delivery carefully to ensure that the package appears genuine and has not been broken or tampered with.
* All online pharmacies should clearly post their privacy and security policies on their site. Make sure you read these carefully before providing any sensitive information such as your credit card details and medical history.
* Be extra careful if purchasing drugs from online pharmacies located outside the US. With overseas online pharmacies, there is no way to ensure that the product you ordered is genuine. It is very likely that the drug has not been manufactured, stored, packaged, and shipped under the same safety standards outlined by the FDA. Some foreign online pharmacies also sell drugs that have been banned in the US.
* Do take advantage of the significantly lower prices offered by many online pharmacies.
* Do enjoy the time you save when you order from an online pharmacy! Remember - with an online prescription, you won't spend time traveling to and from the neighborhood drugstore or waiting in line for your prescription.
Online Pharmacy Don'ts:
* Don't consider using online pharmacies that are not US-licensed to write and fill an online prescription.
* Never accept an online prescription for drugs that have not been approved by the FDA. These may not work as indicated or could harm your health and may even be life-threatening.
* Don't purchase anything from an online pharmacy that has an ambiguous privacy policy or that fails to clearly assure you how they will protect your personal information.
* Don't purchase from online pharmacies that make unrealistic claims about miracle drugs.
* Don't be fooled by online pharmacies that advertise unrealistically low prices for their products. They could be fake, counterfeit or illegal drugs.
* Never accept or take drugs if you suspect that the package has been tampered with or broken, or if the product inside doesn't look right. Notify the online pharmacy's customer service department immediately if you suspect a problem.
* Don't keep quiet if the online pharmacy you ordered from fails to deliver your order or if you find unexplained or unauthorized charges on your credit card statement. If you believe that an online pharmacy has engaged in unlawful pharmaceutical sales, do not hesitate to notify the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
