There are several internet pharmacy websites that you can get RX's
without Dr...They are usually overseas in countries such as Australia
and MexicoThey do warn however that if US customs intercept your package
of meds you may have to provide an RX to be able to get your
package.Heres a link that talks about the online pharmacy's.

here's a link to one of them
http://www.noprescriptionsneeded.com/
Some offer online consultations by a doctor to make it more
legal..lol.But most will sell with no RX at all.I myself would not buy
without knowing what I am getting...quality and so forth.

>> >Hi Cynthia, thanks for your reply, if your dr would not give you metformin would you buy it off the internet and start taking it, I am tempted as everything I have read about it makes it sound amazing and that I should be on it but I just feel that if something went wrong and I had to go to my dr and tell him I am on a drug that I bought from the internet I would feel stupid, what do you think???? also can you tell me if it is safe for me to take Met with my oral contraceptive which is Ovranette??
