Hey, what do you think about websites like **** where patients are not required to have a doctor’s approval in order to get medication? All that’s needed is a questionnaire. Can anyone think of pros or cons of this?
You asked for pros and cons, but I'm afraid there are only cons. Pharmacies like this are almost always scams. Either they're set up to get your personal credit card information and you'll never receive the medication, or if you do receive the medication, there's no guarantee it contains the proper ingredients. People have gotten very sick and even died from fraudulent medications gotten from online pharmacies like this one.
I don't know anything about this pharmacy in particular, but their site has most if not all of the red flags mentioned in the article. You should also know that in the U.S. it is illegal for a pharmacy to fill a prescription given through an online consultation. Although they claim to be U.S. licensed, I can pretty much guarantee they're not. You notice they don't give a license number or even a physical address.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but sites like this are extremely dangerous and I cannot caution you strongly enough to stay away from them.
I think that there should be doctor's permission before starting to take medication because if patient have serious issue in their body then it could be difficult for patient as well as doctor also to take any decision.
