Legitimate Internet pharmacies display a seal indicating they meet state licensing requirements, and the FDA has issued a brochure to tell consumers what to look for when shopping for medication online.




Have to look on my OP to see this seal....if she is a true fighter for the cause, then this is a very sad story...but if she is not..they are the one's that are making us look bad...I mean come on..can I start an OP myself and get away with just a few scripts...dodge and cash in...so to speak..boo

The seal is a VIPP seal that acts as a "seal of approval" for legal internet pharmacies (ie CVS.com, drugstore.com) that meet certain standards...the VIPP program was set up by the NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy).

This was a remailer I think they were called Lifestyle Pharmacy. They would import the drugs all unscheeduled and reship from the US. Some members were contacted by the Florida Atty Generals office and the postal inspectors some time ago. Take care. Billylll
