   Please consult these sites to find out how to contact Pfizer regarding programs to assist you with obtaining your medications.

   I provided the following information to warn you of the potential of counterfeits and for your protection.

   If I purchase drugs over the Internet, should I be concerned about counterfeits?

   Legitimate drugs are sold in many ways, including the Internet, and so are counterfeit drugs. While purchasing drugs from online sellers can be convenient and economical, there are illegal Web sites that may sell you a contaminated or counterfeit product or a product that has not been approved by the FDA, deliver the wrong product, or take your money and never deliver anything in return. You can reduce the likelihood of trouble by dealing with legitimate, licensed online pharmacies.

   Even if they sell legitimate drugs, some Web sites get around procedures set up to protect consumers. For example, some sites don’t require a prescription and only ask customers to fill out a questionnaire before getting a prescription drug, bypassing a face-to-face meeting with a health care professional. A 52 year-old man died of a heart attack in March 1999 after buying the impotence drug Viagra from an online source that required only answers to a questionnaire to get a prescription. A traditional doctor-patient relationship, along with a physical exam, could have uncovered the man’s family history of heart disease, and the risks associated with taking the Viagra. His death may have been avoided if he’d gone to his doctor to get a prescription drug.

   Tips for Buying Drugs Safely Online

   Consumers have lots of choices for buying prescription drugs these days. But beware – counterfeit drugs are on the rise. You might throw your money away on ineffective drugs, or even worse, you could be harmed by taking drugs that aren’t what they pretend to be.

   Don’t buy from an online seller that doesn’t require a prescription. It’s against the law to sell prescription drugs to people who don’t have prescriptions for them. Reputable online drug sellers verify each prescription they receive before filling the order. Always talk to your doctor before taking any prescription drugs.

   If you don’t already have a prescription, don’t deal with a Web site that will provide one based on an online questionnaire, without an in-person physical exam.

   According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Medical Association, if you get a prescription without a physical exam, you could receive a drug that is inappropriate, or even dangerous because of a condition that you might not realize you have. Your doctor will also have a record of any other drugs you are taking and can make sure any new drug you take will not dangerously interact with the drugs you are already taking.

   it will be cheaper to see the doctor and get a prescription. online sites charge about 2-3 times as much for the medication.
