Prescription Medication Online

Excuse what could be a fairly stupid question but is it possible to buy prescription medication online? I'm thinking not, but now I'm officially old and need some meds for the rest of my life I don't fancy paying priceline prices for the next 40 years. Quick Google search looks like there are cheaper prices 'online' but how does one make these transactions with a paper script.
Can it be done?

      How would this work with a repeat script? Just keep posting the original back each time?

        Can ePharmacy keep my prescription repeats on file to save me
        some time next time I place an order?

        Yes, just attach a note saying you give us permission to keep repeats on your file, or select the option when ordering a prescription online

  • I order medication online from an international pharmacy.
    Usually you put the meds in your cart and part of the process is to upload a scan of the script.

    You can order a 90 day supply in one go.

    For me:
    Australia comes to $128, India comes to $50 (incl. delivery)

    No idea how the trouble in India will affect the meds supply - given that most meds available in Australia get sourced from India too.

    • What site??

      You're not worried about getting counterfeit meds from India? I saw an article that said something like 20% of all meds over there are counterfeit and that was expected to have increase with Covid.

      • No, the meds I get get regularly tested in Australia and are the same they sell here in pharmacies.
        It depends on where you order from - and personally I'm sticking with GreenCrossPharmacy.
