Don’t Buy These on the Internet
Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA
Do not buy prescription medicines online from a company which you do not know. Do not buy prescription medicines on the internet unless the drugs have been prescribed for you by a qualified doctor.
The internet is now awash with companies flogging drugs of all kinds. You can buy antibiotics, painkillers and just about anything else you like.
But there is a real risk that the product you buy will be a fake.
It may have the same name and packaging as a drug you trust.
But the ingredients may be useless or dangerous.
Now that it is nigh on impossible to obtain a doctor out of hours, it is tempting to buy in stocks of drugs such as antibiotics. Drugs on the internet are convenient and cheap.
But my advice is simple: don’t buy them through the internet.
They may not be what they seem.
And they could kill you.
