In the real world most pharmacies are very reliable, properly licensed, and well regulated. Choosing a pharmacy is a matter of convenience, price, and service, and there is no need to worry about it being legal or not.

In the virtual world of the internet it is very hard to tell what is real and what is not.
The regulations are the same for online pharmacies as for internet pharmacies but enforcing the regulations for online pharmacies operating in many countries is not easy.

In the U.S. online pharmacies are well regulated, very reliable, and legal.

Foreign pharmacies are another story and we will talk a bit more about foreign pharmacies in this page.

DrugBuyers.Com can not check, and does not check the legal status of sites but will not list sites that are clearly breaking the law. We are not an enforcement, or a regulatory agency, and do not have the resources, or authoritity, to check for licenses and permits. Even the governamental agencies with huge budgets have trouble to determine what is what.

Some things are clear:
1. Prescription drugs require a prescription
2. Buying prescription drugs without a prescription is against the law

What is not very clear is that there are two types of prescription drugs
A. Controlled prescription drugs like hydrocodone, and codeine
B. Non controlled prescription drugs like Viagra, and Prozac

Both require prescriptions but buying controlled prescription drugs without a prescription is a serious crime in any country.

In most countries  selling non controlled prescription drugs without a prescription is tolerated if the quantities are small. What is accepted, or sold, in Mexico or Thailand may not be accepted, or legal, in Canada or Germany.
