According to the WHO (World Health Organization), around 50% of medicines sold online are counterfeit; many of them contain boric acid or lead, which are extremely dangerous to health. Following a series of drug scams in the last few years, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has found that just 3% of online pharmacies sell safe and legal medicines to American customers online (Source: ABC News).
The expenses for chemotherapy can fluctuate too, with some estimates as high as $30,000 over an eight-week time span. The average cost for an initial treatment is around $7,000. Expenses vary contingent upon the medications, the phase of the cancer and different specific factors to each patient.
Americans continue to struggle with skyrocketing prescription drug prices. Personal prescription importation has given millions of Americans access to safe and affordable medications through licensed and legitimate online pharmacies.
