The public has been warned about pharmaceutical products sold on the Internet by unknown sources.

Now comes a warning about the kinds of products which have the most benign reputation.

The bottom line remains the same:

First, know from whom you are buying anything you swallow or put on your body.

Second, be sure your doctor knows what you are taking or using which may not be a prescription—-the often-cited rule is this: If something is powerful enough to help you, it is powerful enough to hurt you.

If you are not certain about a website’s sponsorship, don’t even think about buying important medicines or products there.
