I was looking up zithromax for side effects, etc and found a web site where you can order it on-line WITHOUT a prescription. How is this possible/legal??  Thanks D

Phsinvent is the King on this. He's been doing that for a couple of years. They are from overseas. You just have to make sure it is a reputable business and DON'T buy anything from China.

Listen to seeingstars. Don't buy anything from china or hong kong!!

India, Thailand, New Zealand and mexico are my favs.

www.edrugone.com My old fav for Roxithromycin, Bactrim, Flagyl, Tetracycline, Doxycycline, diflucan.

www.offshore-pharma.com I used to order plaquenil and minocycline (new zealand)

www.medsmex.com  I used to order biaxin from here. just as good as U.S.

www.pillskingdom.com  Clindamycin, Keflex, Levaquin

I buy imetrex online from India and it is less than half the price of what I have to pay for it here. I would not be able to afford a migraine without the online store!

I personally would not buy any drugs online.  I know there are some reputable overseas mega pharma companies (particularly in India), but can you really trust that the drugs you receive are from them?  I would be scared of getting sugar and/or hep tainted pills.  There is just no guarantee and no regulation.

If you want cheap (ish) drugs go to Costco pharmacy.  In the US it's illegal to run a private pharmacy, so you can go there even if you're not a member.  Prices there run me about a third of what CVS charges.  You'd be amazed.  I can thank my <unnamed> doctor for this helpful tip.

Goodluck.

Possibly true but sometimes we do not have the finances to travel across the country to get a good LLMD to prescribe the things we need. Plus paying rather high costs for the dr visit. In my case, I got to the point where i was the dr and my LLMD was just the enabler. However, he would only give me the rinky dink meds like doxy and amoxicillin and that was about it.

There are hundreds of shadey online pharmacies but those are mainly the ones that solicite you via email spam. Those are the ones i'd never visit. Instead, the sites i've listed have been in business for a long time. And you don't stay in business selling fake stuff. I even ordered from pakistan pharmacies just to see the end product. Their drugs were very questionable of all i've seen. I was very surprised to find out that most of the generic meds in the US are actually made in china and india. I ran across the same generic biaxin(clarithromycin) i was getting from a local U.S. pharmacy. Except, i got the generic biaxin from www.edrugone.com and it was the same Ranbaxy biaxin sold in the us pharmacies.

I'm not saying this is for everyone. But sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. The main problem is that the common health system has completly ignored and failed us all.

Costco is a great idea but unfortunately, not in my case.

I am so thankful for this post. So far I've been covered but realize that I need to be prepared for when the health insurance company decides to cut me off. Of course this is not the ideal situation but sometimes we find ourselves without options. Thank you for the great information.

Does anyone know of a place to purchase IV Rocephin at a reasonable price? My health coverage will only cover one month and I was told I need at least six months.
