Is it illegal for a doctor to fill a prescription for a patient he/she has not physically examined?
A friend just invested $1,500.00 for a web site which sells prescriptions that can be filled using the Internet. He has been told that "they" will handle all of the advertising, gaurantee 35,000 visitors to the site within the next 365 days and that he will receive 40% of each purchase made through his site.
The site is already up. It looks pretty unprofessional to me. The punctuation on the sentences isn't even correct! http://paradiserxdiscount.com
There isn't even a counter on it so he can determin how many people have visited this web site!
The person desiring to purchase the particular pharmeceutical simply fills out an online questionnaire which is read by an online doctor then approved.
This sounds like a complete scam. I am looking for a hyperlink to a Federal law which prohibits this. Scam or not? What do you think?
I DON'T THINK HE WILL MAKE A DIME!!!!!

The DEA will have a say into the legitimacy of this business. Its got too many backdoors. I think that pharmacies like the Pequot Indian tribe accept real doctor prescriptions then fill them at a savings to the public. I wonder if your friend knows exactly what he or she is getting into and whether or not this is a tried an true business venture.

it is probable run offshore via crooks. maximum on line pharmaceutical web content sell imposter drugs, drugs, and so on. Federal regulation does limit it, and it is your chum who they could pass after might desire to they tie him in to it using fact they won't cope with somebody working the region from a grass hut in a third-international united states of america, as they're too no longer elementary to locate.

We have been getting fax spam at work from a company called PharmaCare, that states you just speak to there doctor and they prescribe medication for you and send it to you. Now I am a nurse that works for an attorney and this smells really bad to me. if I were your friend I would have called the FBI and the attorney general before taking any leap into that unknown.

There's really no difference in this or selling drugs down on the streetcorner, is there?
Sooner or later the DEA will prosecute.

I don't think it is illegal but I do not think it is wise.
