How Online Drug Store Sales Work
In general, legitimate online pharmacies operate this way:
| |
Users open an account with the pharmacy, submitting credit and insurance information. The pharmacy is licensed to sell prescription drugs by the state in which it operates and in those states to which it sells, if an out-of-state license is required.
|
| |
After establishing an account, users must submit a valid prescription. Doctors can call it in or in some states email it, or users can deliver it to the pharmacy by fax or mail.
|
| |
Some online pharmacies send products from a central spot, while others allow users to pick the prescription up at a local drugstore. Prescriptions usually are delivered within three days, often for no shipping charge. For an extra fee, A lot of sites will deliver overnight.

Sites typically have a mechanism for users to ask questions of the pharmacist, either through e-mail or a toll-free number.
