Does anyone know a legit, or trusted online pharmacy outside the U.S that doesn't require prescription? And since we're on the subject, what's ur opinion on those online pharmacies selling meds without rx?

Do u know anyone who buy meds from online to save $?

To all the sensitive over acting members, NO I'm not going to order illicit drugs, sell drugs, or abuse drugs. I'm not going to risk my career :scared:.
 
Most of the stuff online is fake.... You as never establish a vaild physician patient relationship. I would never recommend someone buy their drugs for a place outside of the US.

NABP does regulate some internet pharmacies. Check out their site under VIPPS. If you are going to use an internet site, those are probably your best bet to get legit drugs and not APAP with the imprint scratched off. Most of these are in the US though.
 
I'm not into advertising for sure. But, I have patients who use Drugstore.com for their rxs. They're valid rxs though - nothing fake.

If you go to one of those places where you fill out a form, get an rx, get it filled & delivered - expect a visit from the Dept of Justice - not worth it. You absolutely WILL get caught & it is illegal - no question about it!

But, I do have patients who do indeed have valid rxs (levothyroxine, cozaar, such) who live out of the country for long periods. They use the accredited online pharmaices which are approved for dispensing in any state, which can then mail, via proper customs restrictions, to other countries for folks who spend lots of time outside the US.

However, if I have patients who spend a significant amount of time outside the US for business......I can get an insurance override to cover the time gone.

Don't be stupid & illegal!

I don't condone or frequent online pharmacies, but if a doctor with a valid DEA number and is licensed by a state board writes an rx within the United States for a CIII-CV, how is the patient liable for filling it even at an online pharmacy (within the US)? This is assuming that the pharmacy is licensed by the state board where it is located and the state board that it sends/ships the medication to. I understand that it is probably unethical for a doctor to write a controlled rx for a pt that she/he's never examined, but I'm having difficulty in seeing what laws the patient has violated.

The doctor has violated the requirement of having a professional relationship with the patient. The pharmacist has violated the law in knowing that relationship did not exist. The patient violated the law in soliciting the rx in the first place.

Case law & many judgements & fines later support this.

Do a search of CA law if you want. I think the biggest lawsuit was several million dollars, lost licenses, etc, etc, etc....

I could find it if I want, it was reported by the CA state board of pharmacy & the pharmacist had to write an apology & all that stuff.......

Nah - just don't get into it. Go the normal route & get the rx legally, particularly if you're a pharmacist!

I guess if you're a pt & want to risk it, just be willing to not get located. Everyone can get lost to a certain degree. But, you'd be surprised @ how good the DEA is in finding people. They just look for your ISP...
