Websites that can kill you

The internet – a basic source for just about everything

Given the age we live in today, which is dominated by rapid progress and high-tech utilities available to a great number of people, it is no wonder that quite a number of people is turning more and more to the internet for all kinds of pointers, recommendations and advice, especially for those that are health related. However, given the fact that the internet-content control is not yet at its peak, people should be particularly careful with those online prescriptions, and websites that vouch for the medical soundness of their prescriptions, and the medications they promote (e.g. painkillers etc.).

Unfortunately, quite a substantial number of people inhabiting the American soil does suffer from different forms of physical pains on a daily basis, be it a chronic one in nature, short-duration one, or quite serious and severe pain. Since it tends to return day in and day out, a far greater and more demanding task is to cope with it mentally. This of course, leaves one with just but a limited number of options, the most effective of which is deemed to be seeking professional medical help. This will in turn, provide one with information on those most effective methods and techniques that will enable the person in question to relieve any ongoing or recurring pain.

Since quite a lot of people do not favor visiting their doctor out of one reason or another, they feel more comfortable with seeking help on the internet, in the form of different online doctor consultations, as well as online pharmacies. Despite the fact that such internet sites are completely legitimate, with the doctors giving advice being certified and experienced, the greatest majority of those reputable ones will, however, not provide any online prescriptions for a condition in question due to a high risk of drug abuse. In addition to this, another reason is that, this way, doctors are actually not able to perform a proper examination, thus making the evaluation and determining of the necessity for a particular drug a fairly complicated task. Therefore, by not prescribing any medication, the contribution to the increase of risk in the rates of drug abuse is avoided.

Still the number of people who turn to online pharmacies is getting bigger by the day. One of the extremely important facts each person should be well aware of is that a huge number of these online pharmacies is actually illegal and provides people with counterfeit medications. Related to this at present is the number of online pharmacies that has been closed down by the DEA, which goes well above 5,000, of which one portion is put into the 'offline' state for selling counterfeit medications, while a far greater number for selling medication without an official license.
