They claim to have a doctor there. You’re really just buying the stuff off-shore. Who knows if you are actually getting what you are asking for.

According to the Mayo Clinic, online sites that dispense controlled medication without a prescription are violating the law.
In other words, it’s NOT legal.
Some suggest that it’s okay because they give you a prescription, but it is also illegal to prescribe medicine for a patient you haven’t seen.

Technically, those sites ARE giving you an Rx.
But these sites are unregulated and there is no guarantee that you are getting drugs manufactured in accordance with American standards, the right drug, a safe drug, or a drug that is not really just a sugar pill.
I would not risk it, personally. Not worth it.

It is illegal to buy prescription drugs without a prescription. HOW you buy is legally a non-issue.

I’ve actually considered buying Lexapro online because it’s soooo pricey otherwise. I’ve heard many people have good success with buying drugs online – they’re likely from India or somewhere, but they’re just what you buy here. Phizer has a patent on Lexapro until 2012, so no generic is available in the U.S., thus keeping the price high. You can get it (the generic) overseas, though, which is why in this case it is so much cheaper to buy online. I run the risk of it being a fishy site, getting ripped off, esp. if the site turns out to be fraudulent and is pulled off by regulators.
Some of these sites must be fine because I visit a forum for people with depression and many people have visited these sites since AD’s are so out of control $$$ in the U.S. I suggest getting opinions on sites first before buying. It is not illegal to my knowledge because the site asks you why you need it, then supposedly a doctor they have on staff is consulted and approves your request. Like that really happens, tho… There is no way YOU will be punished. You can possibly get jipped dealing with shady sites, though.
