Most consumers are unaware that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration found that more than half of the medications that are confiscated on their way through U.S. customs are determined to be either unsafe for human consumption or ineffective. Eighty eight percent of the medications were found to be of illegal nature because they contained unapproved drugs.
It is understandable, especially in a down economy, that U.S. citizens would look for ways to save money with healthcare. It is frightening, however, to consider that thousands upon thousands of U.S. consumers continue to order medications that contain unknown, often harmful ingredients from unscrupulous websites that operate overseas.
Online pharmacy AccessRx.com, however, is located in Tempe, Arizona and provides only genuine, brand-name, FDA-approved medications. The website’s prescriptions are written and filled by only U.S.-licensed physicians and pharmacists. The AccessRx.com website is constantly updated with informative research articles such as, how to avoid the risks of counterfeit medications online. AccessRx.com also has blog entries and podcasts that warn about the dangers of counterfeit medications.
Online consumers should carefully research the websites and medications that they view online. It is best to always buy through a U.S. website that provides a real street address and working telephone number. One problem with buying from foreign online pharmacies, in addition to the potential dangers of their medications, is that U.S. consumers have very little recourse, due to jurisdiction issues, to obtain a resolution or refund if there is a problem with their medications.
“Buying FDA-approved generics is a safe alternative when it comes to saving money on healthcare,” said Richard Bernstein, marketing director for AccessRx.com, “but when consumers buy medications online from overseas, these medications are not approved by any agency in any country. That is what opens people up to potential harm, because many of these foreign drug manufacturers answer to no one.”
http://www.accessrx.com has safely and securely provided prescription medications online for more than 11 years. AccessRx.com has earned the trust of more than 200,000 customers during that time. The website provides non-controlled, lifestyle medications such as Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and Propecia. Consumers do not need to have a prescription in hand to order medications, however they must fill out a comprehensive medical/health questionnaire before a U.S.-licensed doctor considers their request.
Oftentimes, medications that are offered at a small fraction of the prices listed on the AccessRx.com website are counterfeits medications from foreign countries. These medications are often produced with no oversight or regulations, often contain too little/too much active ingredient, often contain substances that should not be included, and are often produced in unsanitary, make-shift labs or warehouses. In summary, people wouldn’t normally put mystery substances into their body voluntarily, but that is exactly what thousands of Americans are doing every year.
