Are internet pharmacies a safe source of prescription only medicines?

0

A. Most internet pharmacies are unregulated. Risks include medical problems arising from absent or incomplete background health checks, supply of inactive, out-of-date or contaminated medicines, high expense and financial fraud. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) has launched a governance scheme for internet pharmacies regarding supply of Prescription Only Medicines. For more details, see the RPSGB website.
