Questions to ask
- Is a prescription required?
- Can I check the records for the person treating me and the pharmacy?
- Does the page confuse registration with approval?
- Can I ask questions before and after the decision?
The notes behind the questions
What the answer rests on
A prescription cannot be skipped
As of 26 September 2026, federal law requires a prescription before a patient receives a prescription medicine; the person writing it must be licensed to prescribe.
A bottle marked for research is not a way to get care
FDA means Food and Drug Administration.
Some sellers mark bottles for research use only, or say they are not for people to use.
FDA letters reviewed as of 26 September 2026 say those words do not avoid drug laws when the seller is offering the product for people.
Those letters allege unlawful sales by particular firms; a letter is not a court judgment.
Registration does not settle approval
As of 26 September 2026, FDA registration or a drug-directory listing does not mean FDA approved the product.
Health-site seals and logos may look official yet be fake, the Federal Trade Commission says.
Payment demands can tell you something
Federal Trade Commission advice was checked on 26 September 2026.
It says sellers are likely scammers if the only ways to pay are bank or wire transfers, payment apps, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, meaning digital money.
