We recognize that over 47 million Americans have no health insurance and even more have no primary care provider. Unfortunately, the Internet community is overwhelmed with unethical online pharmacies willing to take advantage of the uninsured.
At Sun Pharmacy we pride ourselves on serving the community ethically and honestly, that's why we have put together the following warnings for consumers interested in buying their medications online:
1. Avoid online pharmacies that charge a non-refundable processing fee - these pharmacies often have no intention of filling your prescription request, they make their money solely on non-refundable processing and/or membership fees.
2. Avoid online pharmacies that sell controlled substances - controlled substances, such as Lunesta, Valium, Vicodin, etc., CAN NOT be ordered online. Although many online pharmacies offer controlled medications for sale, it is illegal. Rest assured, Sun Pharmacy does not sell controlled medications and adheres to all state and federal laws.
Non-controlled medications, such as Ultram and Fioricet CAN be ordered online legally without a prior prescription. However, you must fill out a medical questionnaire, which will be reviewed by a US licensed physician and a US licensed pharmacist.
3. Avoid online pharmacies that do not offer contact via a toll-free telephone number.
4. Avoid online pharmacies that solicit you via email - reputable online pharmacies contact you via email only AFTER you have made your purchase, and only for the purpose of refill notification.
5. Trust your instinct - if a website seems questionable, continue your search until you find an online pharmacy that you feel comfortable with. Remember, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
