Re: prescription drugs out of usa
No, it is not, apparently as long as the drugs are approved by the FDA for use within the United States, they may be legally imported into this country from foreign pharmacies, as long as prescription and any other applicable requirements are met.
Some online pharmacies, however, will allow prospective online purchasers to order drugs which normally require a prescription to bypass this requirement and these kinds of cyber-drug dispensers should be systematically avoided by all online drug purchasers.
