beware : buying drugs online can seirously damage your health!
No one can really deny that the internet has dramatically changed our w
ay of life...basically. with this new approach we are breaking boundaries and stripping off our own limitations as a human and creating new ones. The internet has countless benefits to offer and an example of it is selling or shopping online. A number of people are opting to shop online since it is more convenient, private, quick and some even consider it to be cheaper compared to the ones in the stores.However, this should not be the main reasons for online shopping because just like everything else internet has its own downsides and not all products that are currently available in the net are safe to purchase by a client, one of the products that are not advisable to buy online are "medical drugs". The major reason for this is that there are a lot of online pharmacies that do not require prescription from their clients, to further elaborate regarding this complications, below is a list of dangers brought by buying drugs online.
1. Health Complications
When you are lured to get medication refills at an online pharmacy you might end up having health complications because some websites do not ask for prescription for distributing such medications and some of these medications might be contaminated, counterfeit or fake. Thus, taking such medications can cause health-related problems or complications.
2. Financial Glitches
When you chose to buy medications via online pharmacies, there is a possibility that the medications you ordered will never be delivered to you. Your lose in this scenario is big since you already paid the medication as well as the shipment fee and yet, the medicines you ordered will never be delivered to you.
3. Questionable Safety and Security
Since you ordered your medications in an online pharmacy there is a possibility that the transaction process might not be totally secured or safe because hackers and crackers that are becoming more skilled so there will always be a risk of the customers sensitive information such as personal and credit card details that could be stolen and used fraudulently.
4.False Promises on Benefits
There are lot of techniques of hoax that an online pharmacy could use one common way is the promotion of exaggeratively low price offerings on their featured medications and medical supplies. These sites may be offering cheap prices on their services and products, but they maybe charging high fees on shipment or worst, the products may also be fake or contaminated.
Although I presented a couple of disadvantages about buying medicines online it does not mean that it is applicable to all existing online pharmacies for there are those who are legitimate and legalized to sell such drugs in the net, the only catch is that the client or YOU must be wise. But just to be sure why don't you consider the "old fashion way"...it may be hard but at least you know that it safe right?!why risk your life when you know theres a better way?!think about it!
