MAIL ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS
(in part)
"A healthy dog, Kipling, loves playing
catch like any other Golden Retriever. However, he's a bit different.
Kipling has only one eye. A year ago, the dog contracted a fungus
which invaded his body and infected his eye cavity. Kipling's vet
told his owner, in order to cure the dog, they would have to buy
a large quantity of a prescription drug. And, Kipling would have
to stay on the drug for several months. The prescription was extremely
expensive. The vet then suggested the family use an online service"
The family tried the service, and saved hundreds of dollars. At
Walmart they paid $214.28 for 28 pills, which comes out to $7.68
per pill...." Through Canadian Prescriptions..."they paid
$460.00 for 164 pills, or $2.80 per pill. A few weeks after buying
medicine for his dog, Glenn Smucker started ordering medicine for
himself..."
"The Wisconsin Attorney General's Office says they have no
lawsuits against online pharmacies"... So, with the click of
the mouse, all you have to do is get to the website, get your prescription,
fill out a medical history and waiver form, and then fax all three
forms to the company. You'll also have to type in your credit card
number and within a couple of weeks, you'll receive your prescription.
The only downside is the waiting period. For your safety, the company
verifies all prescriptions.
