Ordering Medication Online: Getting it Into the Country

If you are buying medications or hair loss treatments that are not on the “exempt” list you are going to find that it’s much more difficult to deal with the hubbub and the regulations, and it may be nearly impossible to get the pharmacy to actually ship the item to you. Many products that are pharmacy related can be found online in both name brand and generic varieties.

If you live in the UK, or The European Union, the hard part won’t be finding a reputable online pharmacy to buy from; the hard part will be actually getting the medication into the country itself. In the case of hair loss medication (such as Rogaine or Propecia), there are two reasons why it would be ceased at customs:

  1. It is considered counterfeit – Counterfeiting is a massive international business that operates entirely underground. Everything from cologne to speakers are counterfeited, and the both the EU and the UK governments take active steps to prevent counterfeit products from reaching the UK population.

  2. It is a controlled substance – In the case of Propecia (which requires a prescription in order to use), importing Propecia from overseas may not be a good idea. In fact, if you are caught you could face some pretty significant charges and fines.

Ordering Hair Loss Treatments Online

Always ensure that when you are handing out your personal information you are still on the actual site itself and not a site that has been designed to imitate the look of the legitimate product website. Paypal is one such website that is very often “spoofed” (copied appearance wise)- users are constantly receiving e-mails from PayPal telling them what and what not to do.

If you’ve found a safe and secure online pharmacy to order from, the next step is arranging for appropriate shipment. If you have a prescription for the medication being order (Propecia, for example) you should forward that information to the pharmacy so that it can be included with the customs paperwork. If you do not have a prescription and you are ordering it anyway, well, I suppose it’s time I said the following:

We do not take any responsibility for medication that is ceased at the boarder or any legal complications that arise as the result of ordering hair loss medication, or any other kind of medication, online from unauthorized or international pharmacies. The information on this website is for entertainment purposes and as such we maintain no warranty or obligation in regards to the information presented on this web site.

Use at your own risk!

There, I think that adequately sums up my feeling on that doesn’t it?
