Virtual Pharmacy - Legality

Legality

Virtual pharmacies are not registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but, when the laws are followed, each and every pharmacist or doctor that writes or fills a prescription through a referral from a virtual pharmacy IS personally licensed. Often the foreign based pharmacies, specifically out of Mexico and India have no legal basis and are violating numerous federal laws and are at risk of being convicted for drug trafficking. On the flip side, the prescribing and filling of non-controlled drugs in the US is still legal, most of the pharmacies are registered with the DEA and a licensed US doctor looks over the medical questionnaire and determine whether or not patients can get their prescriptions filled.

Controlled (Scheduled) Drugs - are classified as medications which are often misused, e.g., Morphine, Xanax, and Codeine as well as other sedatives and stimulants ranging from widely illegal drugs like methamphetamine or cocaine to diet pills like generic Phentermine or Adipex-P. It is illegal to purchase any DEA scheduled drugs without a prescription some even to process them period. There are thousands of controlled drugs which are all registered by the DEA. The severity of the control lever ranges for I to VIII, i.e., I and II being completely illegal to process even with a prescription, III to VIII only requiring a prescription written by a doctor whom the patient has a local relationship with.
