    Default Online Pharmacies

    Anyone had any experience with online pharmacies?
    Just been gouged $98 at priceline for 5 pills - this new girl friend of mine is going to get bloody expensive to keep happy
    Just wondering if there is a cheaper alternative online.
    Cheers

    A mate of mine had the same problem and purchased a product online which was supposed to be identical, the product was not effective, his father in law works for a large company that has a laboratory capable of analysis and found the product was 92.674% corn starch

    Yep, that's why I'm asking here.
    I get the canadian pharmacy spam a few times a week but I was hoping for some recommendations from people who have gone before me.

    I wouldn't trust a pharmacy without a shopfront presence.

    Usually I go to Priceline for all my meds because they are the cheapest in my area, I'm not that organised, and they are in my local shopping centre.
    Chemist warehouse are located a bit further away and I sometimes drop in there as they are a bit cheaper than Priceline, but with both of them they make you wait - this is OK for Priceline as that is the shopping centre where we do our grocery shopping.

    The idea of keeping you waiting is the hope that you will browse the rest of their stock and make a purchase

    The local pharmacy that serves you right away charges nearly double what Priceline and CW charge.

    I've used the online Chemist Warehouse for the last 18 months for prescriptions - we don't have a local chemist so it's either a round trip of 140km or online - so far I've been very happy with their service. As for the dodgy products- they sell the same prescription meds that I would buy 70km away.

    I think the original poster is referring to a particular type of expensive drug that is offered by overseas online Pharmacies at a very low price

    Errr... I think so too. I found to my glee recently that the blue pill has run out of patent and is now much cheaper as a generic, even if not on the PBS.

    More cheers
