Online Pharmacies

Out of interest, does anyone here have any experience in buying from online pharmacies? And if so...how did it go? Did you get what you actually intended to buy; did it work; etc? I know there are various horror stories of people dying after taking some crap that was passed off as what they ordered, but in general what I hear doesn't seem to follow that pattern.

(Yes, I know it's generally thought to be a stupid idea - I don't need people to tell me that!)

It's not a good idea.

Is it prescription stuff you are after? If you really needed it your GP would prescribe it and it would be a heck of a lot cheaper!

In need of some Cialis are we? The doctor is the place to go if you need prescription meds, not www.lopricepenismedication4u.com.org

If you're talking about the Boots-style online pharmacies, selling over-the-counter stuff, then they're normally fine.
However, if you're talking about prescription stuff, then just don't bother.

Stay well, well, well clear of most of them. Only buy from a website or a shop you will see in the high street. Take this from someone who knows people who run those pharmacy websites.

yeah, avoid them like the plague unless it's a well known retailer's site.
