An online pharmacy is an internet-based pharmacy that includes both legitimate and illegitimate pharmacies. Independent Internet-only sites, online branches of “brick-and-mortar” pharmacies, and sites representing partnerships among pharmacies fall under the purview of “online pharmacies.
Online pharmacies offer several benefits. The ease of being able to compare many sites to find the best prices and products, greater convenience and access to a wide variety of products, easier access to written product information, and references to sources other than what you would typically find in traditional storefront pharmacies are among the many benefits of patronizing online stores.
However, while many online shops that sell medicines are entirely legitimate, some online shops sell medicines illegally. There is no control over the manufacturing processes or sale of illegal medicines. This means there is no way of knowing what is in the medicine and how it works. If you buy illegal medicines, at best you risk spending money on something that might have no effect, at worst the medicine has serious side effects or puts your life at risk.
