Re: Amazed that anyone would buy any sort of medicines over the internet
I'm a little mystified as to why someone who is an NHS employee should make such a statement regarding buying Medications online!My own observations over the years clearly indicate to me that the system regarding prescriptions handed out by NHS medical practitioners is widely open to fraud and costs the NHS an absolute fortune to run.
Anything that saves the NHS money should be regarded as something positive in my opinion and I don't really believe that the vast majority of people buying their medications online are at risk as they obviously must know what they are doing.
In Europe you can walk into any pharmacy and buy just about any medication with ease; THEIR governments obviously don't feel that their people are at risk as pharmacists,as in the UK, are highly trained and they are highly respected in Europe and do a very good job.
Pity we don't have that system here!
It never ceases to amaze me that we often see or hear moans about nanny state and being treated like children by government and / or their institutions and even big business yet here's a classic case of someone in the very line of work relative to the thread (Medical) who makes a statement whereby she obviously feels people should not have a choice! stevmk2

Maybe some of us (or our animals) would have to go without if we had to find extra money for the exact same product a decent online pharmacy supplies for considerably less.
I do only use known, reputable companies though as it could be very foolish to buy from some unheard of place. I can ring up and talk to their pharmaceutical team for any advice or queries, it's not like a company using some suspicious, obscure contact details.
It's like paying £5 for a Pork Farms pork pie at the corner shop if they are only £1. at your local Tesco. . . .

Completely agree I get some of my dog meds on line and some of my own, always from reputable sources. Saying never is accusing legitimate pharmacy firms of being dodgy like some illegal seller.

This is what I put: -

As for your second point, please don't patronise me.
