Being fairly new to this forum, I felt the news article I copied and pasted below,might save someone from possibly having problems. If this is not the right place for it to be,I apologize and a moderator may move it. Anyway, this will stop me from trying Buymeds.

Pharmacy linked to Internet sales ordered closed
DES MOINES (AP) — A Dubuque pharmacy's license was suspended by Iowa regulators who allege the drug store was involved in selling drugs from the Virgin Islands over the internet.

The Iowa Board of Pharmacy declared the Union Family Pharmacy an immediate threat to the public. The Dubuque Drug Task Force and federal Drug Enforcement Agency officers took control of Union Family Pharmacy, immediately closing the prescription department.
In court papers filed Friday, the state pharmacy board said Union Family Pharmacy paired with Pharmacom LLC, a company in the U.S. Virgin Islands, to sell prescription drugs — filling more than 4,750 prescriptions — over the Internet.

Visitors to the Web site http://www.buymeds.com are asked to fill out a medical questionnaire, which the site says is "thoroughly reviewed by one of our US licensed physicians."
