With the ever increasing cost of prescriptions drugs and medications, more and more people are looking for alternatives. I’ve seen newscasts and heard stories of people crossing international borders in order to be prescribed and/or purchase prescription medications. While I’m sure there are many legal issues with doing this, both in being prescribed prescription medications across borders and actually bringing prescription medications back into the U.S. (or whichever country you may reside). I cannot condone or recommend either.

One alternative to paying the high price is to use online pharmacies. By doing this, you’ll have to have a physical prescription from your doctor or physician and usually you’ll be asked to the fax the form in, in addition you’ll have to provide all of the contact information of your doctor. There are many reputable online pharmacies out there, such as Drugstore.com, WalMart, Pavillions, etc.
