Prescription drugs: what to know before you buy or switch

Prescription drugs help millions stay healthy, but they also raise questions: where to buy, how to avoid fakes, and whether a different medicine could work better for you. This page gives straight answers and points to practical guides on buying safely, comparing alternatives, and understanding common meds so you can act with confidence.

How to buy prescription drugs online safely

Buying meds online can save money and time — if you know what to watch for. First, check for a real pharmacy license and verifiable contact info. If a site won’t show a phone number, or uses only email and odd payment methods, walk away. Legit pharmacies usually accept credit cards and show clear shipping, refund, and privacy policies.

Look for these red flags: prices that are impossibly low, no prescription required for prescription-only drugs, and no physical address. Verify reviews from multiple sources and read recent user reports before you order. When you do buy, keep the original packaging and compare the pills to photos or descriptions in trusted articles like our Levoquin and Prednisolone guides.

Before changing or stopping a prescription, ask your prescriber simple, specific questions: Why this drug? What are the common side effects? Are there cheaper or safer alternatives? How long should I expect to take it? Ask about monitoring needs (blood tests, liver checks) and interactions with other meds or supplements you use.
