Has anyone ever purchased prescription drugs online?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Your insurance company can refer you to the online pharmacy they work with—that’s the one you should use. Your doctor writes you a prescription for a 3 month supply of the drug, and faxes it to the online pharmacy. (He may have to mail them the original as well.) They ship the drugs to you, and charge your credit card for the copay. You generally save money because your insurance company copay for one three-month prescription is less than it would be for three one-month prescriptions. There are also online pharmacies that are slightly shady in that they only bother with the prescription part enough to satisfy the law—they have an onsite doctor who writes prescriptions for anyone who orders them. You can probably save even more money there by avoiding the doctor’s visit and the checkup completely, but if you do that you’re risking your health and you’re in a legal grey area.
