While many online pharmacies insist on the customer proving proof of prescription, some do not require buyers to show a pre-written prescription. While it is important for all customers to consult a qualified medical professional before taking any new medication, many customers find that these no prescription online pharmacies offer an easy to use and convenient way to obtain the drugs they need at discount prices. Your doctor is always the best person to offer advice about possible contraindications, suitability of medications, risks and benefits and dosage etc.

In many cases, people decide to purchase prescription drugs online because of the lower-cost products that are available over the Internet, whereas previously customers would often travel to Canada, Mexico or other areas in order to buy medications at lower prices. With the growth of online shopping, discount medications have become easier to obtain from foreign pharmacies, although such purchases may not always be legal according to the local laws and regulations in the buyers home territory.

NEWS: OxyContin prescription drug abuse "a silent, growing problem" among youths. Next to its tarry opiate cousin, "hillbilly heroin" appears clean and trustworthy — pastel tablets neatly engraved with the dosage digits of modern medicine. But oxycodone packs a painkilling wallop with a strong addictive force. It hooked Rush Limbaugh, and these days it has gained a firm foothold in the youth party scene — with grim consequences. A combination of OxyContin — the brand-name oxycodone drug — Xanax and alcohol halted Joey Rovero's breathing in December, killing the graduate of California High School in San Ramon in his room at Arizona State University. He had driven to Southern California a week earlier, paid a doctor $75 for a visit and took home 90 OxyContin tablets, 30 Xanax and 90 muscle relaxants, his father said. He sold half to his addicted roommates. But Rovero, who played high school football and shunned illegal drug use, kept the rest for himself. "Joey told his girlfriend, 'Hey, I'm not doing anything illegal. I've got a prescription. It comes from a doctor,' " said his father, Joseph Rovero, of San Ramon. "What we came to find out later was at the fraternities down there, 60 percent of the kids were using these painkillers recreationally. The kids don't realize how dangerous this is. Some of them do, and yet they're so addicted to it, they can't stop." That false sense of pharmacological safety, experts say, has helped drive a pill-popping trend among teens and young adults that appears to be escalating.
