I've used www.drugstore.com with excellent results. Also they only

charge $1.49 for shipping and handling which I think is amazing.

A word of caution using online pharmacies: Make sure they are NOT based in

places other than Canada or the US. I saw an expose on our local news

recently that showed a good many " medications " coming out of foreign

pharmacies in Mexico and certain parts of central Europe are either

contaminated or not even remotely what they say they are. Some of the drugs

tested came up with potentially lethal doses (over time) of things like

arsenic and mercury. Others were just corn starch powder in colorful

capsules. Some of the drugs they got were the real thing, but enough beyond

expiration date to have changed chemically and become potentially hazardous.

Regulations on drugs are far looser in a good many countries and you could

be risking your health by getting your meds from unsafe sources.

www.drugstore.com is American and recommended by Prevention Magazine. I

did research it.

Hi Aazari,

Great information. Thanks.

We use Caremark online/mail order pharmacy which is approved by our

insurance. Using this pharmacy, we can get 3 months supply for the same co-pay

as 1

month at the local pharmacy.

Hi Eunice,

Yes, we have just started using precisionrx. It is a mailorder

pharmacy that is offered by Blue Cross to save money as well. They

do have a service included in which I can go online, see if they

have received my prescription and if it has been mailed, still in

process etc. It is not an internet drug pusher, it is based in Texas

and is listed on the back of our Blue Cross cards. We can save money

too and that is why I started using them. Just wondering if anyone

else has used Precisionrx and what, if any problems have they had??

Thanks,
