Hello!
If you've read some of my articles on this blog , you already know what are Generic Drugs.
Hopefully these articles helped you understand more about Generic Drugs and you are ready to give it a try and buy some of them.Now the only thing you need to have is Internet!)
So in this article i would like to help those who are unfamiliar with buying generics online and maybe give some useful tips for those who already have some experience.
There are thousands of online pharmacies that are offering generic drugs for lowest prices.Try just type in google "online pharmacy" and you will get about 22 000 000 results) And it will take you forever to figure out the one that will work best for you!And be sure that half of those pharmacies are fake and you will simply loose your money.
Here are some tips on choosing online pharmacy:
1)Look around
When visiting an online pharmacy start with looking around!I suggest looking for FAQ's.There you can find out answers to some of your questions like:
- Ordering
- Product information
- Drug Quality
- Privacy Policy
- Shipping Policy
If you didn't find all the answers i recommend calling or emailing the support team, that way you can figure out everything you want to know and check on the support team.
2) Product information
All the pills in the online pharmacy must be FDA approved and meeting all the safety requirements.Most online pharmacies don't need to see a prescription, but for your own safety, you still need to consult your doctor before ordering - to be sure that there are no reasons why you should not take the medication.
3)Privacy Policy
This is the thing that should worry you the most.When ordering you will have to give your personal information, credit card number etc.And of course nobody wants it to spread around.For privacy protection most pharmacies are using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), this is a a protocol developed for transmitting private documents via the Internet.By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http.So when you are on a page filling in you personal information you should look for "s" letter in the page address.

4)Shipping policy
Most online pharmacies are shipping worldwide so if you live somewhere in Europe check on shipping methods and their costs.Usually there are two shipping methods:
-registered mail(will take longer but costs less)
- EMS(will take faster but costs more)
And because all the drugs are shipping from India and going through the customs it can take longer than you expect.
I suggest looking for pharmacy that offers insurance.It means that your product will be reshipped without any additional cost in case of loss or damage.
Another important thing is order tracking.When you've already placed your order and it was confirmed and shipped you should get and email from pharmacy with tracking number for your order.That way you can go to USPS web site and easily track your order.But order tracking is mostly available only if you use EMS shipping method.
5)Keep Trying.
Lets say you found the pharmacy that seems good for you.First i would make a small order for lowest price just to check if the pharmacy is really any good.If the results a satisfying just keep on ordering from the same pharmacy.If not, well you always can try other one.If you not sure about the online pharmacy you choose,you can always write me and i will help you.
Good Luck,
