Internet pharmacies cannot "prescribe medication". Only doctors can do that. This is another area these charlatans are breaking the law. Somehow, along the way, they got the notion it is okay for them to prescribe and devise treatment therapies (which is why there is not one of them which is actually providing care of any quality). When someone calls in, it is usually just some kid answering the phone, whose first question will be "How much do you have to spend?" What a coincidence: the treatment this kid will then need (ahem) "prescribe" will exactly match that amount!
In fact, in many cases, there isn't even a doctor involved in the process anywhere. Some have just made up nonexistent physician's names. Several have their scripts signed all by the same doctor who just rubber stamps everything in exchange for fees.
Also, it is the law everywhere that no patient can be forced to purchase their meds at any given location. This is pure Consumer Protection stuff. Try signing up with one of these Internet pharmacies, finding out what therapy they recommend, then tell them you want the script forwarded to your local pharmacy.
Are the "doctors" involved providing appropriate follow-up care and monitoring? Of course not--that would take time away from money making. All they want to do is sell more drugs--and at rip-off prices.
Their "Medical History" is a joke. It is nothing but a java applet--and all are okayed.
I am intimately aware of an Internet pharmacy that induced permanent Type II diabetes in a "patient" by selling him high dose unmonitored HGH. BTW, this is an operation whose owner published that their so-called "Medical Director" "laughed at [my] treatment protocols". Another one did on another Board, too. As if.
Aro--Theirs were not "legit scripts".
I know of no Internet pharmacy which conducts itself with anything even approaching an ethical or legal basis. Were I on their "patient list" I would be very concerned, especially if I had a professional license of any sort to protect, or was a law enforcement officer myself.
