Online Pharmacies?

July 29, 2009 By Megan Smith

Does anyone use an online pharmacy for their regular prescription?  I have a prescription that I need to fill and am considering using drugstore.com to fill it.  I use them all the time for shopping, but have never used their pharmacy services.  Obviously, this doesn’t work when you’re filling a prescription for antibiotics to treat a sinus infection, but for a regularly occuring prescription, it’s not a terrible idea.

I have a strong dislike for my local pharmacy thanks to rude staff, crazy lines, and the fact that they have filled my prescription with expired medication, so my options are to go out of my way or try something like drugstore.com.  Anyone have any recommendations or warnings?

    I’ve done this before via my HMO’s online pharmacy. It was generally cheaper, quicker, and easier. The key is remembering to renew early enough to get your new prescription in the mail.

    drugstore.com is fine, but anyone reading this should be warned to be careful in choosing a company. There are plenty that will do their best to scam you. The government has a list of legitimate websites:

    This is important, as they have found many sites to be selling counterfeit medications. Very dangerous!
    That being said, I have had prescriptions mailed to me before. It was through our HMO, though.
