Yes, it is legal for pharmacies in the US to sell medications through the internet. You would know that an Online Pharmacy Rx is legal if it:

* has a pharmacist available to answer questions; and
* provides contact information (including the phone number) in case you have problems or questions.
Why Do People Use Online Pharmacy Rx?
There are three primary reasons why people prefer to obtain prescription drugs from an Online Pharmacy. The first is cost. Due to the economics of health care in the U.S., consumers often must pay a notably higher price for medication than consumers in other countries. The second reason is privacy. Some people prefer to obtain their prescriptions online than to consult a doctor in person about issues such as depression or hair loss. Sales of antidepressant medications and diet drugs such as Phentermine or Xenical are now an enormous business. The third reason is convenience. Most people would not want to personally visit their doctor to ask for prescription, and then drive to a neighborhood pharmacy. This would consume their half-day or more.
Is It Always Cheaper to Order from an Online Pharmacy?
Yes it is cheaper to order prescription drugs online. The main reason is because an online pharmacy offers free prescription if you still have No Rx.
