An online pharmacy is an E-commerce based store that sells medicines and some other related stuff and delivers them right at your doorstep. It can include both legal and illegal stores. Ideally, most of the pharmacies work on the Brick and mortar principle, which is they have both physical and online presence to ensure maximum sales.

Some online pharmacies demand a prescription while others do not. So, we have both cases. However, as the use of the internet is now getting more common with every passing day therefore now there are some rules and regulations for the online stores as well as for pharmacies to control any misadventures.

While we know that online pharmacies can be of great benefit to the needy patients but at the same time, there are some online pharmacies as well which are selling prescription-only medicines without any prescription. So, there are risks and benefits as well. While opting for any online pharmacy, make sure that you are going only for very well-known pharmacies and it should be registered as well.
