Should you buy Medications Online?

If your inbox is like mine you get lots of ads for mail-order prescription medications for weight loss and erectile dysfunction. Should you purchase from these sources? While some Online pharmacies are legitimate, these usually require a faxed copy of the actual prescription from your doctor. Pharmacies that don't require a prescription aren't legal in the U.S., and medications from overseas may not make it to your house because of new Homeland Security regulations and other customs issues.
