In a Consumer Safety Alert, the FDA listed 12 drugs that come with special safety restrictions on how they can be sold. These are considered "restricted distribution drugs" because of the potential dangers of them being used incorrectly. The FDA says the following drugs should not be purchased through an Internet pharmacy:

Patients needing these drugs should use the traditional route of visiting their doctor in person.

The FDA also cautions consumers against buying medications from foreign, non-US Internet pharmacy sources. It says online pharmacy websites that are not located in the US are not selling FDA-approved versions of drugs. Because the products they sell are outside the reach of FDA inspection and manufacturing controls, they could be dangerous or ineffective.

So… how do you purchase SAFE products from a SAFE online pharmacy?

What TO Buy at An Internet Pharmacy

eDrugstore.md is a US online pharmacy that has US licensed physicians and pharmacists on staff to take care of you. That’s the first thing you should look for when shopping for an Internet pharmacy you can rely on.

If you’ve already used a certain prescription drug without any side effects or drug interactions, you know you tolerate it well, and you simply want a renewed prescription, that’s when an online pharmacy can speed up the process and offer convenience and savings.

At responsible Internet pharmacies like eDrugstore.md, your online medical form will be reviewed by a US doctor and, if he/she approves the order, your prescription will be dispensed by a US pharmacist… so you know you’re getting genuine FDA approved drugs issued according to the law.

The prescription drugs most commonly purchased at eDrugstore.md’s online pharmacy are products for sexual enhancement (like Viagra/Levitra/Cialis), weight loss (Xenical), pain relief, birth control, smoking cessation, and sleep aids.

To view a complete menu of prescription medications from a reliable, trusted Internet pharmacy based in the US, click to eDrugstore.md .

Quite simply, it’s our privilege to be serving you. If you place your trust in eDrugstore.md by selecting us as your online pharmacy, we don’t want to let you down.

Let us spell it out for you with our online pharmacy ABCs:

Believe it or not, this is a very common occurrence, and in too many cases customers who are shy or embarrassed about their condition often choose to go without treatment, which can make matters worse.

When you order from an online pharmacy like eDrugstore.md , you do so from the privacy of your own home, and you can rest assured that your order will be handled with utmost discretion and professionalism. We carry a wide selection of products for a range of conditions that many people prefer to keep confidential. These include:

• Sexual health and well-being
• Birth control
• Hair loss
• Acne
• Weight loss
• Smoking cessation

Peace of Mind and More

While these and other conditions are extremely common, ordering from an online pharmacy provides a degree of ease and comfort (not to mention convenience) that many people find lacking in a traditional, brick-and-mortar pharmacy. When you choose eDrugstore.md as your online pharmacy:

• We make a firm commitment to protect your privacy – nothing is more important to us. Read our Privacy Policy.
• Your consultation with one of our licensed physicians or pharmacists will always be conducted professionally and under our strict confidentiality guidelines.

Over the years, we have found that avoiding potentially embarrassing trips to the drug store is an important reason many of our customers return to our online pharmacy. Why put yourself in an uncomfortable situation when there is a perfectly viable alternative only a few mouse clicks away?

Cost and Convenience Factors

While our customers value the privacy that comes with ordering from an online pharmacy, placing trust in eDrugstore.md brings a variety of other benefits.

Consultations with our US-licensed physicians and pharmacists are always free… you pay only for the cost of the medicines and shipping. Our dedicated customer care team is ready to assist you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Email support is also available. Choose whichever option you’re most comfortable with.

And of course, since eDrugstore.md is an online pharmacy, we can avoid many of the expenses associated with traditional pharmacies. The savings get passed on to you in the form of lower prices.

So if you’re concerned about privacy when it comes to sensitive product purchases, there’s no better reason to select on online pharmacy like eDrugstore.md. You may come for the confidentiality, but chances are that you’ll love the savings and convenience too.

You could take a quick trip to Canada. Prescription drug costs there are much lower than in the US so a booming and controversial practice has sprung up around medications coming into the states from north of the border. This practice violates FDA regulations, even though law enforcement officials rarely target online pharmacy customers who order medications from outside the US.

The Offshore Online Pharmacy

When you buy drugs over the Internet, it’s always safest to buy from a US-based online drug store.

That’s because importing from online drug stores based in countries other than the US and Canada is a risky business. It has been estimated that up to 40% of all drugs sold in developing countries (such as Mexico) are actually counterfeit products that may cause adverse reactions.

So while the foreign online pharmacy may promise you a ridiculously low price for Viagra, for example, what you receive in the mail might be nothing more than snake oil dressed up in an authentic-looking little blue pill. And one of three things will happen when you take it:

1. Nothing. It just won’t work.
2. Unpleasant side effects.
3. Serious and dangerous side effects.

The FDA’s View of Online Drug Stores

The FDA’s Consumer Safety Guide warns that some medicines sold through some online drug stores may not be safe to use. They may be fake copies, contain ingredients not listed on the label, or be too weak to do any good.

The FDA urges consumers to use only those online drug stores that are have US licensed pharmacists on hand to answer your questions and US licenced doctors to write the prescription… reliable, professional pharmacies like eDrugstore.md .

How to Choose a Trustworthy Online Pharmacy

If you want to save money on prescription drug costs AND stay within the law, select a US-based online pharmacy. Do some research, make a short list, and then compare prices, quality of service, bonus offers, ease of contact, and any other consumer factors that are important to you.

When you find the lowest price for the product at a reputable online pharmacy that has credentials and a solid track record, then you’ll have found an online drug store where you can place your trust and place your order with confidence.

For example, in the first year that eDrugstore.md began operating, it filled a few thousand orders. Now, thanks to happy customers and positive word of mouth, our pharmacists fill thousands of orders every month .

After all, online pharmacies make your life easier and save you money on the same genuine, name brand prescription medications sold at your neighborhood drug store (trusted brands such as Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, Ultram, Propecia, Xenical, and many others).

You may be wondering how come our prices for these products are so much lower than at bricks and mortar drug stores. The fact is that our overhead costs are lower than traditional pharmacies and we don’t require as many staff, so we can pass on considerable savings to our customers.

And that isn’t the only benefit of using online pharmacies like eDrugstore.md.

Advantages of Online Pharmacies:

• Convenience. Busy people, the elderly, shut-ins, rural dwellers, non-drivers… they all find it hard to get to the drug store. For them and for many busy Americans, online pharmacies save time and aggravation.
• Privacy. Many people feel more comfortable ordering certain products discreetly, from the privacy of home. Online pharmacies that offer online or toll free phone ordering make anonymity possible by safeguarding your identity. We also use the latest encryption technology to ensure your personal information remains confidential. Read our privacy policy .
• Free information. You don’t have to wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment just to learn about the potential side effects or drug interactions of a certain medication. Responsible online pharmacies like eDrugstore.md provide a huge storehouse of free information. Check out our " Ask a Physician " section. As well, each product we sell has a full page of details on how it works, side effects, benefits, etc.
• Access to pharmacists. If you have a question that isn’t answered by our extensive online database, just call our toll free number or submit your question by email. A licensed US pharmacist will respond. Submit question by email .
• Lowest prices. eDrugstore.md has the lowest prices for FDA approved, genuine prescription drugs… lower than other online pharmacies. That’s because our overhead costs are minimal and our mark-ups are lower.

So you not only save money on your prescription drug costs but can order right from your home computer or telephone and receive your order within a couple of days… right to your door via courier or the US Postal Service.

At the same time, a reliable online pharmacy provides detailed information about the drugs it sells (including potential side effects and precautions), and protects the identity of the buyer. All this without the consumer having to leave the comfort of his or her home.

If you’re looking for an online pharmacy that you can trust to fill your online prescription responsibly and at the lowest cost, here are some handy tips to keep in mind:

• Look for a free online consultation: Before placing your online prescription order, check to see if the online pharmacy offers a free consultation. We recommend using an online pharmacy that has US-licensed doctors and/or pharmacists available to answer any questions you might have.

• Additional information: Choose an online pharmacy that provides you with ample information about the drug you’re interested in ordering. If some information is missing or unclear, you should clarify any questions with the online pharmacy’s licensed pharmacist or physician before ordering. Most online pharmacies offer a toll free phone line and email accessibility.

• Do your research: Whether buying your first online prescription or re-ordering, it pays to do some research on the prices and services offered by more than one online pharmacy. Compare shipping methods and fees, customer service options, costs for the same medication, additional fees, and anything else that’s important to you as a consumer. The best online pharmacies, like eDrugstore.md, offer substantial discounts on prescription refills.

• Play it safe: According the FDA, there are certain drugs that should not be purchased through an online pharmacy. Avoid any online pharmacy that claims to sell these restricted drugs. 

• Check the price: Compare online pharmacy prices with prices at your neighborhood drugstore before ordering an online prescription. Also, be wary of online pharmacies that advertise ridiculously low prices; they could very well be selling counterfeit and dangerous products even if their website claims they are brand name products.

• Watch out for counterfeits: To avoid fake, counterfeit and/or potentially risky products, use an online pharmacy that sells only FDA-approved medicines. It also helps to be aware of the appearance of the drug you are ordering. If you are familiar with the drug’s manufacturer, color, packaging and shape, then you will be better informed about your online order.

• Check the details: Before clicking the "buy" button for your online prescription, be certain you have correctly specified the drug you want as well as the correct dosage and quantity.

• Seek security: When you place an order for an online prescription, you will typically be required to provide personal information such as your medical history, credit card number and other details. Be sure that the online pharmacy you use offers secure transactions that protect your privacy.

• Avoid ordering from offshore online pharmacies: One of the risks of ordering an online prescription through a non-US pharmacy is that you may not be getting the same product that you would get through an online pharmacy based in the US. The FDA’s quality and safety standards exceed those of other countries. They help ensure that the medicine you purchase will be authentic and safe to use. When you order from an offshore online pharmacy, you have a much higher risk of getting a fake version of the drug, which could do you more harm than good. In addition, the safety or usage information that accompanies the product may be printed in a foreign language or contain errors.

To see how easy it is to order an online prescription, visit eDrugstore.md, the Internet’s leading online pharmacy. It offers free, no-obligation medical consultations and has US-licensed pharmacists to answer your questions, conduct your free medical consultation, and dispense your online prescription at the lowest prices available for genuine medications.

Are you having trouble finding an online pharmacy you can trust? One that gives you an online prescription for the same authentic drugs that you’d find at your neighborhood pharmacy, but at a far lower cost? With the large number of disreputable online pharmacies operating on the Internet today, it’s not surprising that consumers are bewildered and skeptical.

With this in mind, we have prepared a list of dos and don’ts to follow when looking for and ordering from an online pharmacy. By keeping these tips in mind, even an Internet skeptic can enjoy all the benefits of getting an online prescription at a lower cost without compromising on health and safety.

In addition, we have compiled some useful resources and links on the subject of online pharmacies and the best way to safely get an online prescription. We hope it helps you learn about and explore various online pharmacy options.

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, such as eDrugstore.md, offer a no-obligation online consultation and encourage consumers to submit questions to the website’s pharmacists and physicians to clear any concerns they may have regarding their online prescription.

• 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. Some, like eDrugstore.md, offer valuable discounts on online prescription refills.

• 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).

"Bogus Online Prescriptions Do More Harm Than Good"

"Legitimate Online Pharmacy? Don’t Be So Sure!"

Recent headlines and media coverage of the multi-billion dollar online pharmacy industry has been less than charitable to Internet sites that specialize in dispensing prescription drugs. With consumers pumping more and more cash into online prescriptions and purchases of Viagra, pain relief medication, and other drugs obtainable via the Internet, there is certainly cause for concern.

However, on closer inspection it becomes clear that not all online pharmacies are created equal and some can provide a safe, convenient and cost-effective way of obtaining prescription drugs.

No Prescription? No Problem for Rogue Online Pharmacies!

pharmacy (noun): a shop in which medicines are prepared and sold, according to prescriptions of physicians.

When you apply the above definition to the websites that call themselves Internet or online pharmacies, you’ll quickly find that many of them do not qualify as actual pharmacies since they do not require a consumer to have a prescription before placing an order. Many of these businesses require little more than a valid credit card to make a purchase, and in this sense they are no different than e-commerce sites that sell books, cosmetics and other everyday items.

However, by dispensing potent prescription medication without requiring either an online prescription or a traditional prescription from its customers, these online pharmacies are operating in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Sometimes referred to as "rogue" online pharmacies, these businesses may be headquartered in the US or may be based overseas. In either case, unlicensed online pharmacies that sell prescription drugs without requiring any form of prescription are breaking the law.

In addition, these businesses are potentially jeopardizing the health of their own customers. Because prescription medicines can be harmful your health if taken without an accompanying professional health assessment, they should always be taken under a doctor’s direction or supervision. Online pharmacies that simply dispense powerful drugs on request, without any medical assessment, consultation or prescription whatsoever, are engaging in unethical and dangerous business practices.

Lastly, be aware that ordering from an online pharmacy that does not require a prescription may be financially risky. Sometimes sites that claim to sell prescription drugs without either asking for a doctor’s prescription or providing an online prescription may be more interested in stealing your credit card details than in providing a legitimate service.

Online Pharmacy/Offline Physician… A Strong Formulation

At the other end of the online pharmacy spectrum are those businesses that dispense prescription drugs only when the customer has obtained a valid prescription as a result of an in-person examination by a physician. Supporters of online pharmacies that have the traditional prescription requirement contend that a prescription is an absolute prerequisite to filling the order and that there is no substitute for an in-person doctor’s examination.

Indeed, certain complex or serious medical conditions are impossible to effectively diagnose or treat without a physical examination by a doctor. In addition, in-person evaluations offer a clear advantage to patients who have established a long-standing, trusting relationship with their physician.

Another advantage of using an online pharmacy that requires a traditional prescription is that these businesses often stock a full range of prescription drugs similar to the choice that is available from your local drugstore.

The Online Prescription: Quality Care Plus Convenience

There is another category of online pharmacy worth considering – those that provide an online consultation or evaluation by a professional, US-licensed physician. Depending on the results of the online consultation, the physician may (or may not) provide the patient with an online prescription. The patient then uses the online prescription to complete his or her order on the site. With these types of online pharmacies, the patient cannot complete an order without first having had the evaluation and receiving an online prescription.

Some critics of online pharmacies that use the online prescription model believe that a remote consultation is not an adequate way of assessing patients’ needs and safeguarding their health. Clearly, there are some medical issues or diseases that cannot be properly identified, evaluated or treated without seeing a doctor in person.

However, for some health conditions, a remote consultation provided by a qualified professional at the other end can be as safe as seeing your doctor personally and far more convenient. Many online pharmacies use qualified physicians and pharmacists who will carefully review your symptoms and medical history before authorizing an online prescription and dispensing any medication. Plus, the convenience and savings associated with an online assessment are unrivaled by any other model.

If you are considering working with an online pharmacy that uses remote medical assessments, bear in mind that eDrugstore.md offers free, no-obligation online consultations with US-licensed physicians. It also has on staff US-licensed pharmacists dispensing authentic FDA-approved drugs.

What follows is the story of one woman’s journey into the world of the Internet’s rough underbelly and my discovery of all the online pharmacy "pretenders" out there. I never expected to find what I did but let me assure you that this story has a happy ending. It is a tale of international exploration and many life lessons. Learn from what I am about to tell you so you never have to repeat the experience.

As I began my journey, I started to explore the many choices for an online pharmacy available on the web. My first landing was on a somewhat shabby website, poorly maintained and badly written like by somebody who doesn’t really know English, but I thought "Hey, what matters is the service, the prices and the product." I should have taken my cue from the website. Upon contacting customer service about ordering my prescription drugs, I was offered some alternative medications that sounded outright scary.

Did you know that in one country they eat mule dung to stimulate their sexual urge? I pictured the look on my husband’s face when I served him a bowl in the expectation of romance. It had all been a trick to lure me in. This particular "online pharmacy" (and I used the term loosely) offered familiar brand name medications, like Viagra, only to pitch me their own snake oil remedies. They also assured me that my bladder control problems were curable with only two servings of dandelion roots grown in their special garden that had been blessed. That was enough for me, I was out of there and onto the next online pharmacy.

I found myself on an Asian website that looked ok. Finally I had found the online pharmacy for me. Wait a minute, my husband’s ED problem is the result of too much wind, they say? My bladder problem is caused by interference from the universe? I am all for alternative healing but this was too much. I want real science and real prescription medications.

At the next online pharmacy, I was sure the third time was the charm. Aha, names I recognized like Viagra, Cialis, Propecia… genuine prescription medications but the prices were pennies a pill. I knew it seemed too good to be true but it was just too cheap to resist.

So I placed an order for 50 Viagra, just for starters. For that price, I was prepared to take a chance. I waited for my overnight package, preparing for a spicy evening. The box arrived, I opened it up, excited about all the fun I would have with those purple pills… wait, purple?? Viagra pills are blue! I had stumbled upon the counterfeit drug business, where bait and switch is the name of the game. Needless to say, those pills went straight into the trash.

Why is this so hard? All I want is a quality medications and affordable prices. Is that too much to ask?

I began to search more carefully, passing up sites that looked thrown together or that were not well maintained. I finally figured out that careful research pays off and I was going to be more careful next time.

I continued my search and found many fine online pharmacy websites but they didn’t seem to offer any great bargains. I knew a discovery had to be just around the corner. Any long journey has to lead to a great find, just like any good story has to end with a great moral.

I had paid my dues and knew I deserved the best, and then – there it was. Shining like a beacon. Would it, could it be all that I had hoped for? eDrugstore.md had a beautiful website, comprehensive drug information, lots of well-written medical articles, licensed doctors and pharmacists on hand to assist me, and best of all, excellent prices. I spent an hour on the site reading the articles, comparing prices and ordering my medications. I even found my birth control pills for half what I was paying!

Right on the first page I noticed that they guarantee the authenticity of their US FDA-approved medications. They also offered 24/7 customer service. I love this online pharmacy already, I thought to myself.

 I rejoiced at all the money I was saving. (Saving money is my Viagra!) I placed an order and it arrived as promised right to my door. The Viagra was blue and the name was spelled correctly. The labeling and instructions were genuine and so was the product. Now to put my plan into action.

My husband arrived home to a romantic dinner and a little blue dessert. I won’t bore you with the details but let’s just say I can’t stop smiling. And he can’t wait to get home from work now every day. We saved enough money to start a vacation fund but I have a feeling we won’t be doing much sightseeing no matter how beautiful the scenery.

The Moral of the Online Pharmacy Story

The moral of this story is the payoff. My journey of discovery can save you from wasting time and money. I did the legwork and now you can enjoy the benefits. eDrugstore.md is the best online pharmacy I found in all my trial and error research. They will earn your respect with low prices, professional service and quality medications. Best of all, you can trust them with your important medical needs.

We have come to the end of my online pharmacy journey. I will never stray from eDrugstore.md. I have to admit I often wonder what would have happened if my husband had taken the purple pill or if I had tried the dandelion roots. I guess we’ll never know. And that’s probably a good thing!
