Q: Is it safe to purchase
prescription drugs online?
A: Apparently the dangers of
tainted drugs are real and the penalties for doing so can be severe.
New York state regulators recently fined one health plan $10 million
for buying drugs outside of "safe" U.S. distribution channels. The
reputable discount drug plans like www.ehealthdiscountplan.com have a
mail order option that saves almost as much money as buying from the
more risky online drug vendors.
