A prescription shortcut
A seller needs a valid prescription to supply a prescription drug lawfully under federal rules. This requirement was checked September 26, 2026.
Colorado’s medical board also says a prescription cannot rest just on answers to an online form. Its guidance was checked on that same date.
An approval claim that does not fit
The FDA objects to adverts giving a compounded preparation the label “FDA-approved”. It calls that claim false or misleading. This advertising guidance was checked September 26, 2026.
That objection is to the claim. Compounding can still have a role when an approved medicine does not address a patient’s need.
A pharmacy that cannot be checked
The FDA has found labels on compounded weight drugs that named pharmacies which did not exist. That warning was checked September 26, 2026.
Check the pharmacy name against the state recordPayment pressure with no clear answer
The Federal Trade Commission protects consumers. It warns about sellers who insist that you can pay only by bank transfer, wire, gift card, a payment app or cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency means digital money such as Bitcoin.
The FDA warns about online pharmacy prices that seem far too low to be believable. A low price by itself does not prove a scam; check the prescription requirement, pharmacy identity and other warning signs too.
