Yes it is without a doctor's prescription. Hence if you want a prescription drug you cannot legally get it without seeing a doctor first.

This might be interesting and make you think about the possible conterfit drug problem that operates on the internet, I work in medicine and it is an area that we dont often talk about this might be a little hard hitting for some!

Counterfeiting is a big problem in large parts of the world - even in the UK there were four cases of counterfeit medication entering the legitimate supply chain last year. If you're lucky counterfeit medication contains less of the drug than it should do, and if you're unlucky it could contain anything.

Pfizer own two of the biggest selling medicines in the world - Lipitor and Viagra, and these are obvious targets, so it is reasonable for them to respond to this threat. I've had a quick look at the site and it seems ok, although I know the rat poison I dispense is genuine.

Has anyone bought drugs / medicine on the internet ? Is it safe ?

bunny,haveyou thought about hypnotherapy or telephone or face to face counselling for your phobia?

At the very least,the drugs could be out of date..

If your son or daughter said to you " I buy drugs offf my dealer,I know they are safe,"what would YOU say? It's the same thing.

Large pharma companies have a corporate responsibility to warn the public about counterfiet products especially if their drugs are being targeted like this. Fake drugs are a problem, a massive one, so-much-so that alot of time, effort and money is put into the security of drugs throughout the supply chain from pharma to chemists shelf. Counterfieters are very good and can get the exact look of the packaging and contents. The only difference is, the active ingredient and composition would be made to only look like the genuine product. Not worth shopping online via another country. Stick with who you know

I find it quite hypocritical for Pfizer to talk about "fake" Lipitor when they deliberately lied about "real" Lipitor themselves!

Hence my comment on its trustworthiness.

(My background is in medical research; as a consequence, I believe very little of whats said by Pfizer - or any other large pharmaceutical company. It's not even close to being a responsible industry.)
