Is Amazon.com Selling Drugs?
You Can Get Prescription Antibiotics on Amazon.com Without a Prescription
Amazon.com is one of many online retailers that offer a huge selection of veterinary supplies including antibiotics. What the common person does not know is that these antibiotics are the exact same antibiotics that you and I have to have a prescription to get and make a trip to the pharmacy to get filled. Amazon.com is not the only site that allows such purchases, several pet supply catalogues carry a full line of antibiotics for veterinary use that are of the same chemical make-up, quality, and dosage level that is also prescribed for human consumption. That's right, you can get a prescription antibiotic without a doctors visit, simply by placing an order on Amazon.com.
If you are frequently prescribed antibiotics by your physician, you should try a search on Amazon.com to see what is available. You can often find several different varieties of the same antibiotic. For instance, Tetracycline is a very common prescribed antibiotic for humans, but it can also be used in either a powder or pill form to treat fin rot in fish. The biggest thing to be aware of when purchasing antibiotics online is to check for additives. Most antibiotics that are sold for veterinary use are the same that are also sold in pharmacies but others may have added ingredients that you may not necessarily want. Is very important to read the ingredients carefully before taking any medication that is labeled for veterinary use.
On a closing note, this method of purchasing needed antibiotics is not for everyone and it is definitely not for your first self-diagnosed ear infection. If you constantly find yourself having to visit the doctor for a recurring infection, this method of obtaining a prescription antibiotic without a doctors visit may be for you. If you are consistently given the same prescription by your doctor, it is easy to do a search on Amazon.com for the name of the medication to see what comes up. By taking the time to read the product reviews, you can frequently see that others have used the veterinary supply house for human consumption.
