have you ever bought medication from an online pharmacy that doesnt require prescription?

I alreay know what the diagnosis is cause ive had this a million times, but cant afford a dr visit just for a presciption, do i trust these online pharmacies that claim you need no presciption if so which is best?

yeah, you never know what youre getting into when you buy from an online pharmacy, ESPECIALLY one that doesnt require a prescription. If you want to save money on your drugs, the best thing to do is get the generic for your drug, and if a generic is not available, switch to an older class of drugs for that condition. For instance, if you’re on a new “sartan” ang2 antagonist for blood pressure such as Cozaar (losartan, i think retails around $80-100/month), have your doctor switch your prescription over to an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril (probably costs about $10-20). And dont get a brandname “XR” or “XL” or “SR” drug, they arent really any better and they cost way more. Talk to your doctor about it or have your pharmacy give your doc a call if youre interested in doing something like that.

  1. A friend of mine used to get his medication from the web (the company was based in Canada). After about 6 months of successful ordering, he got busted by the feds. Luckily for him it was only controlled nutritional suppliments and not prescription narcotic painkillers (i.e. Percocet).Also, I’ve heard than those online sources often supply lower quality products and/or plecebos.
