legality of prescription medication purchases

10-28-2006, 07:47 AM

Im considering purchasing prescription medications from one of the online pharmacies. I do not have a prescription from my physician and would depend on the online pharmacy's physician to write the prescription based on answers to a questionnaire. I understand that it is a violation of US customs to import prescription medication from another country.
Question:

If I confirm that the pharmacy is based in the US, are there any legal issues to be aware of before placing an order as i described above?

It is still banned in some states. Ask your local police or DA if it is legal to do so.

There is a lot of fake selling of medicines online, so one needs to be sure the pharmacy one is having the pills from is a real pharmacy. There are various prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis, Xanax which could be ordered online.
