Online Pharmacy

Online Pharmacy

Online pharmacies, Internet pharmacies, or Mail Order Pharmacies are pharmacies that operate over the Internet and send the orders to customers through the mail or shipping companies.

Online or internet pharmacies might include:

  • Pharmacy benefit manager - A large administrator of corporate prescription drug plans
  • Legitimate internet pharmacy in the same country as the person ordering.
  • Legitimate internet pharmacy in a different country than the person ordering. This pharmacy usually is licensed by its home country and follows those regulations, not those of the international orders.
  • Illegal or unethical internet pharmacy. The web page for an illegal pharmacy may contain lies about its home country, procedures, or certifications. The "pharmacy" may send outdated (expired shelf life ) or counterfeit medications and may not follow normal procedural safeguards.
