The use of the internet to buy medicines has a chequered history. Many customers have, for example, taken risks with their health by buying prescription medicines and medical treatments online from unverifiable sources, and without the advice of a medical practitioner. Contrary to what many believe, however, there are internet sites that exist which are trusted, legitimate sources for the private purchase of such prescription medicines and medical treatments.

Such sites are regularly used by those who prefer the relative privacy and discretion afforded by the internet, particularly for the treatment of potentially sensitive or embarrassing complaints such as male impotence. Customers throughout the UK have, for example, used such sites to legally buy Viagra online as well as other impotence treatments such as Cialis.

The key to how such sites can legitimately source prescription medicines lies in their ability to offer a discreet online consultation by their own fully qualified medical practitioners. Once the consultation has been completed the medical practitioner should then be able to produce a private prescription which is in turn passed onto a bona fide online pharmacy. The treatment is then discreetly despatched direct to the customer’s door.

Those looking to utilise the services of such a site in order to, for example, buy Cialis or Viagra online, should first ensure that the site has been vetted by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (the MHRA). This is the government body responsible for monitoring medicines in the UK.

Secondly, it is essential to check that the pharmacy used by the site to dispense the prescribed medicines is approved by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (the RPSGB), the body responsible for regulating pharmacies in England, Scotland and Wales.
