How can they really be selling generic prescription drugs over the internet? They're called prescription because you need a prescription, right? They even claim to have schedule II drugs. Are they fake and why aren't they shut down?

Well I know there are mail orders for prescriptions, but I'm not sure how that works. There are some online pharmacie's that are like, "Order in generic antidepressants and adderall and Xanax for cheap!!!" I don't see how they can have the real drugs. The FDA has a legal lock on those things generic or not.

Yeah, I would never order drugs online. I'm worried enough about what my doctor presribes me. Sometimes I'm not sure if he knows what he's doing.

The on-line pharmacy that I use is a benefit provided by my insurance company. I order 90 days worth of meds at a time. The initial request has to be accompanied by a script from the doc but then I'm good until the refills run out.
You can save a tremendous amount of money on meds if your job provides a benefit like this.
The other on line pharmacies I would be leery of unless you can verify their credentials.

Most online pharmacies are illegal. It's just impossible to police and shut them down. Whenever they manage to get one shut down, another opens up.
