New Prescription Allergy Medicine: Xyzal

As a health care professional and expert Internet user, I just want to issue a word of warning here in response to isuffernomore's numerous posts on this site over the past 24 hours.

This person is highly recommending an online pharmacy site. I've checked out the site and have a couple of concerns.

Apparently, you can buy any type of medicine, including controlled substances (pain meds) without a prescription. As someone who doesn't have health insurance, yes, I HAVE been tempted to buy from such sites in the past.

But here's the thing... you have to ask yourself, if a site is willing to sell possibly dangerous drugs over the Internet to people with no known medical knowledge without a doctor's prescription, then aren't their ethics a bit shaky?

Drugs can have dangerous side effects and aren't always right for every person. It really does take an expert pharmacist or health care professional to know if a drug could be dangerous for you. It's also illegal to sell prescription drugs without a prescription.

So, if a company is willing to flout the law and play loose with your health and safety in that regard, how do you know that what they're selling you is of good quality or even the drug they say it is? There are many such known scams on the Internet.

Now, I don't know anything really about this particular site and I'm not accusing anyone of anything. But you can't tell much about them from their site either. And on their order page, which is supposedly secure, I don't get the little lock in my task bar on the bottom that is supposed to indicate a secure site. So it made me wonder if it really WAS secure, despite their claims.

All I am encouraging you to do is to proceed with caution here. Maybe they're completely legitimate. And maybe they're not. You be the judge, but DO be careful with your health and your money.

I full agree Kathleen and appreicate your concerns. But nothing on the site is a "Controlled Substance" I myself was in the medical field for years. As you know the purpose of a Online Pharmacy is to provide medications to people that are not able to afford them. Zyrtec for example is very cheap on this site infact 50$'s cheaper than most. As for secure it's very secure and has been a trusted -safe and secure site for many years. I order from this site and that is why I suggested it.

Have an excellent day.
