How to Buy Legal Drugs Online
These days, virtually everyone has heard about buying drugs online. Everything from common cold remedies to prescription narcotics can be acquired via the Internet, and sometimes at a huge discount. But is it legal? Alas, sometimes, the answer is no. Many online pharmacies don't follow legal practices when dispensing drugs via Web sites, and this can mean reduced quality and safety.

Get a valid prescription. Although Web sites exist offering prescription drugs without a prescription from your own doctor, almost all of them are illegal. Check carefully through a reliable source like PharmacyChecker.com to see if they are legit. Currently, the only Web site with U.S. approval to offer prescriptions online is KwikMed.com.

Do your research. Many Web sites offer extreme discounts on medications. Unfortunately, it's often because the medications they care are not legal, or safe. Look for pharmacies that are members of the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (or VIPPS) program. Pharmacies in this program meet state licensing requirements and quality standards, and are all on the up and up.

Make sure the Web site is secure. Never pay via cashier's check or Western Union, and check to make sure the site sends secure credit card transactions. E-checks are probably the safest way to pay.

Look for a company you can contact. Pick a Web site with a phone number, so you can talk to a live person if there's a problem with your order. At the very least, they should offer an email contact form. Also, look for a site that offers contact with an actual pharmacist.

Check for bad reviews. Doing research ahead of time can really help you avoid scammers and any illegal practices. Try Googling for reviews of the Web site you pick, or check out RipOffReports.com or Scam.com for more info.
