Persons considering purchasing drugs via an Internet pharmacy should exercise good common sense and scrutiny in selecting an Internet pharmacy. An "Internet pharmacy" site should provide a physical address for the pharmacy, in addition to the Internet address and a telephone number for the pharmacy. Some common indicators that the "Internet Pharmacy" site may not be legitimate and should not be used as a source for controlled substances include the following:
The site is not a participant in any insurance plan and requires that all payments be made with a credit card.
The site requires that you waive some rights before they send you the drugs.
The site advises you about the law and why it is permissible for you to obtain pharmaceutical controlled substances from foreign countries via the Internet.
The site does not ask the name, address, or phone number of your current physician.
The site advises you to have the drugs sent to post office boxes or other locations to avoid detection by U.S. authorities.
The site does not require that you provide a bona fide prescription issued by your personal physician or mid-level practitioner.
