And increase Big Pharma's profits.

You'll notice that lots of weasel words such as "unapproved" are used
without saying just what that means. In the case of shoprxonline the
drugs, produced by Indian pharmaceutical giants such as Cipla who also
produce some of the US drugs, are approved...by the Indian government
for use and sale in their country. And since they're exported around
the world and we haven't heard of any fatalities (and Big Pharma IS
watching) I guess they haven't killed too many people.

You'll also notice that most of the fda's complaints concern not
counterfeit drugs but things such as "Drugs with dangerous reactions".
They might conflict with other drugs the customers are taking thereby
cutting both Big Pharma and big medicine out of their super-profits.
It's not too hard to read up on the drug using the same (or better)
sources than your average PCP. See Medscape DrugInfo or Rx.com or
Drugs.com (the PDR).

Shoprxonline is reputable but there are those that aren't. However
asking in sci.med is hardly wise. Try one of the weightlifting groups
or the impotence group for up-to-date info.

Sure, if you don't mind counterfeit drugs:

Stay away, stay very far away...

I noticed that prescription drugs, such as Cipro, Mevacor or Cialis, are
available at
30% to 50% of the price in the US, if bought by mail order from India. The
website looks just as reputable as most Canadian pharmaceutical websites.

I thought I might try them. Can anyone comment on any problems with ordering
prescription drugs from India?

Thanks for any input.
