The Dangers of Buying Drugs Online

The Dangers of Buying Drugs Online

More and more people turn to the internet for every area of their lives, banking, paying bills, dating, games, blogging, and it is no wonder that people are also wanting to buy drugs online. Yet how safe is it and is it even legal?

How many of you get spam that states "Your prescription is ready"? Whether it be cold medicine, valium, viagra, cialis, the emails are coming in droves. It is obvious that they are coming from someone who doesn’t know you most of the time or certain emails would not be coming to a woman or a guy depending on the type of medication it refers to.

Okay, so maybe if it is CVS or Walmart, you can relax a little. However, if it is a "generic" pharmacy, one you are not familiar with, that is not well known, red flag, okay? Some online pharmacies send substandard drugs. This can be an added health risk.

Yet a lot of reputable pharmacies do not really care to take the time to set up an online program. They would have to deal with questions coming in from online, thereby setting up a helpline and in the end it is an added expense for them. Someone who is not reputable will tell the consumer whatever he or she wants to hear just to make the sale.

Then there is the business of ordering from a different country. It is illegal in the U.S. and most countries to order medications from an online pharmacy that will be sent from another country. The number one reason for this is the U.S. has FDA regulations. Several countries do not have the diligent testing of drugs and their side effects that the U.S. does.

Still another danger in ordering drugs online is hacking. Yes, people will get your credit card info, your personal address, even more. They can also end up using this information to gain your trust and send you something illicit or dangerous.

Walmart and CVS is just around the corner in most states if you are in the U.S. If you are in Canada or another country, there are pharmacies well known there that you trust. Take the time to go to the store. It is the wisest decision you can make when it comes to ordering medication. Who knows, by getting out of the house? You could run into an old friend or meet someone special. Make sure your hair is combed, okay?
