Should You Fill Prescriptions Online?

The main question facing today's population is 'should you trust online pharmacies' to deliver the same drugs as the corner store does? The answer is, 'yes', with some exceptions.

The first thing consumers need to do is ensure the company is located in the USA, has a fixed address, phone number, and is a registered company. If so, then the company is accountable by the same government rules and regulations that the corner store pharmacy is.

However, there are some differences. As with all Internet stores, an online pharmacy can sell for a lower price. It is not unheard of to find a wide variance in the price of drugs from one State to the Next. The online stores offer low prices on brand names, and the same 'generic' brands.

These companies do not manufacture their own product. They buy from the same drug companies that are used by the corner store.

Take a look at the online drug stores. Edrugstore offers information that I've found useful, and I'd rather buy my Cialis from an actual drug store than from an email campaign.

Rozerem is offered at the 'lowest price online.' Not bad. I took a look at the 'about us' page, to ensure that they carried U.S. FDA Approved Prescription Medications and was run by pharmacists, not just 'packers' in a warehouse.

As with everything, 'buyer beware' but when you find a legit store - take advantage of the service and prices.
