Is there any LEGITIMATE online discount pharmacies?

Some of the scripts that my family need aren't covered by our insurance.....Costco is decent but still looking for the deeper discount.

Anyone know of GOOD discount pharmacy that will accept a California prescription and not send me powdered sugar pills?

For some reason, I don't think these guys are legit.

They have the standard Spam-vertised Drug site layout. (and the Doctor photo I *KNOW* I've seen elsewhere.

The DNS servers for the website are mdnsservice.com.
Go there, you get nothing. No service provider info...

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling that there is no free lunch. Despite having a US address these guys are all bunk.

http://www.nabp.net/indexvipps2.asp

I checked out the "approved" online pharmacies and they all have the same pricing as Costco or won't quote a price until you submit a script. Unless the established pharmacies and the approval agency won't approve the deep discounter as a way to keep their prices up....

I would think that if I was into conspiracies.....

Mike,

You ever tried to go across the border? I have at one time (when I lived near Mexico) and the meds looked and worked the same. Would be worth a drive down there every 4-6 months.

You can bring 3 months worth of meds across the border with you each time. Go there with 3 scripts, walk across and bring back 9 months of meds back home with you after making three trips across the bridge....

I'm six hours north of mexico and I get the hives just thinking of TJ and Rosarito Beach......I was minding my own business in that schitzhole and was pounded into oblivion by the local cops....spent sometime in the local jail until I "bailed" myself out......

Momz lived in Todos Santos just outside of Cabo...slightly better but still a place I'd NEVER want to spend an extended period of time.....

It is an India based company, and a total scam. Do some research and don't believe prices that are to good to be true. They sell sugar pills with a mixture of plaster and hope americans are stupid enough to buy it.

I had a good experience with Health Warehouse in Cincinnati- I live in Atlanta so it was out of state for me-I have a perscription for generic Ambien but my insurance would only pay for 60 tablets every 90 days- $4 as a co pay - $62 for 30 when I pay for them at CVS- Health Warehouse was $23 for 180 tablets-the Doctors office has to send them the perscription - even with their free shipping they were delivered within a week.

I found them on GOOGLE

I use Medco. Dirt cheap and they automatically notify me when scripts are getting low if they need another doctor's note to reorder.

Just a warning guys, while those meds are the same, its a good idea to being doing business with a local pharmacy. An independent local pharmacy. Many of them will give you the best price if you ask.


Here are a few reasons to not do mailorder...... Lets say its the middle of the weekend, middle of the night and you just got out of the ER, in some towns there are no 24hr pharmacies, a good indy will have a emergency # on the door and will come fill your scrips.

You forgot you needed a refill and the doc needs to authorize it? This may take a few days, your indy will loan you a few.....

Oh and once you are becoming of the age that medicare is an option, some of the stuff they pay for the pharmacy has no markup in, and occasionally a loss. I can tell you that pharmacies don't like loosing money on someone they have never seen before.



Like I said, buy your cheap drugs anywhere, but keep in mind that you may need a pharmacist to help you out sometime, and the online guys won't.
