HealthPortalUSA.com has searched the world over for legal and safe suppliers. Finding safe online prescription drug providers is no easy task. We have found over five hundred websites offering prescription drugs. We learned how to tell which companies can be trusted. Out of all these websites we have found that less than ten percent are legitimate. So, you have a nine out of ten chance to get totally ripped off. Losing money is the least of concerns compared to losing your identity and credit information to criminals or taking stale or fake drugs and damaging your health.

Online pharmacies can be classified in three groups. 1) Prescription Only; 2) No Prior Prescription with medical questionaire reviewed by the pharmacies own doctor, who then writes your prescription; 3) Anything goes, send your money and take your chances.

The pharmacies that you will find on Health Portal USA are in group two and since they do not require your doctors prescription in advance, they are severely limited in what drugs they can ship to you. While there are literally hundreds of these online pharmacies, only a small percentage are safe to deal with. Two websites, www.myfavoritedrugstore.com, and www.nodoctordrugstore.com are both following the law of the land and can be trusted. People who cannot afford to see a doctor for a basic refill or who do not have health insurance are the most frequent customers of these two online drugstores.

If you can't find the drug you need on the Health Portal USA web site, we do provide a link to www.comparediscountpharmacies.com and there you will find a search box provided by Pharmacy Checker. Almost any drug you can possibly want can be found there; however you will need to mail or fax or email your doctors prescription to them before they can ship to you. The prices are low and worth checking before you buy again from your local corner drugstore.

What makes an online pharmacy legitimate?

• They actually operate in the United States or Canada and clearly show a street address and local phone number (not just a PO Box and a toll free number as they can be anywhere on earth).
• They ship from licensed pharmacies.
• If they don't require a prior prescription, they have a licensed doctor review medical questions with each and every order.
• They don’t sell generic Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra (because these so-called generics are highly profitable and they are all fakes).
• They don’t sell Controlled Substances.
• They use a secure website for order entry. (the web address must say https://www. If there is no "s" then your personal data is open to any hacker.)
• They have a Privacy Statement and follow it.
• They don’t send SPAM email advertising drugs.
• They have a live customer service person that you can speak to you in English.

A pharmacy certification label does not mean the online pharmacy is legitimate. Scores of foreign pharmacies show these certifications and they are not legitamate.

To ensure we only market legitimate pharmacy networks, we place test orders for our own personal prescription needs. We back track their shipments to the source and verify the pharmacy and the doctor on the label actually exist.

The legitimate pharmacy networks won’t ship you controlled substances, such as the popular and highly addictive Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Hydrocodone. Shipping and receiving these controlled medications is a felony.

Controlled substances require that you physically go to the doctor and then you actually pick up the drugs from the pharmacy. There is no other legal way to buy controlled substances.

Before you buy drugs online, review the bullet points above as the few minutes you take to do this can save you a lot of grief later. Once you find a legitimate online pharmacy, you can rest assured that they are doing everything in their power to stay within the boundaries of the law. They are simply honest American small business people trying to make a living.
