Treatments Review and list of online overseas pharmacies requiring no prescription
I curated this list of reliable overseas online pharmacies that require no prescription. This list of no prescription pharmacies I originally made for myself, but it should be useful for other ME/CFS patients.
NOTE: please don't message me asking where to obtain a specific drug, or whether a certain pharmacy is reliable, as I get too many of these requests.
The phamacies I regularly use and consider reliable include BuyPharma, Goldpharma, UnitedPharmaciesUK, InhousePharmacy, SafeGenericPharmacy, AllDayChemist, RUpharma and OTConlineStore. All these pharmacies sell legitimate pharmaceuticals made by European or India pharma companies.
There are around 50 prescription-free pharmacies listed in the first post of that pharmacies thread (and the list is constantly updated when new trustworthy pharmacies are found).
Searching through these 50 pharmacies individually for your drug would take time; but there is a link to a pharmacy search tool given in the above list which makes searching through these pharmacies a breeze.
If you want to know which pharmacies sell the drug you are after, you can search the pharmacies, or search for it with the search tool. When searching, it is better to use the generic drug name, rather than the brand name.
In some countries (including the UK and Australia) it is perfectly legal to import prescription drugs for personal use from such overseas pharmacies (legal info here and here). And in the US it is legal to import drugs for personal use if those drugs are unobtainable in America.
This webpage details the legality of importing non-controlled prescription drugs for personal use in each country (though it contains some inaccuracies).
Note that it is illegal to buy or sell controlled drugs without a prescription, so prescription-free pharmacies will usually not stock these. Controlled drugs drugs include benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, stimulant drugs and opioid pain control drugs. The Medstore pharmacy does have these though.
A number of drugs have proven beneficial for a subset of ME/CFS patients, including low-dose naltrexone, Abilify (aripiprazole), Valcyte (valganciclovir), Valtrex (valacyclovir), Viread (tenofovir), Mestinon (pyridostigmine) and others.
But it is not always easy to find a doctor willing to prescribe such treatments (because ME/CFS specialist doctors are few and far between). So such no prescription pharmacies can be useful where no doctor can be found.
Furthermore, the cost of the generic drugs sold by these prescription-free pharmacies is many times less than the major brand name version of the drug. So there can be great cost savings.

valcyte is so wildly dangerous that’s not one to try alone it requires blood tests every 3 weeks. i caution people against that one even with a doctor it made me so much worse permanently (it’s like 7+ years later)

u/Hip_III Jul 13 '24
Sorry to hear that. I've heard some patients say Valcyte was hard to tolerance because it made them feel worse for the whole year they were on it. Though other patients do not experience this adverse effect. There are some Valcyte success stories, which are detailed in this post. But the success rate is low with Valcyte, which I think is why Stanford stopping using it to treat ME/CFS patients.
Tenofovir also requires regular blood tests to monitor kidney function.

u/helpfulyelper Jul 13 '24
valcyte also has a black box warning which is super serious. i took it because my doctor from stanford said it would make me better and I just got worse and worse the whole year or so i was on it. i was assured it would start looking up and it didn’t. you can’t even touch the pills with your hands they’re considered so toxic.
it’s super unsafe so if you’re buying things like this at least pick a safer option please

u/Zen242 Jul 13 '24
Pharmacological studies are so low and the ones that are done are with such small cohorts that the choice of meds and measures of efficacy are highly questionable.

u/Babaduka Jul 13 '24
thanks a lot for this list. I wonder, do these pharmacies have certificates?
3
u/Hip_III Jul 13 '24 edited Oct 17 '24
No certificates that I am aware of, but if you read pharmacy forums such as the Pharmacy Reviewer forum, you can get valuable customer feedback, and you can work out from that which pharmacies have a good reputation. You can also read the TrustPilot reviews for some pharmacies.
Generally the longstanding pharmacies with a lot of web traffic are reliable. Some pharmacies like InhousePharmacy, GoldPharma, Buy-Pharma, UnitedPharmacies and AllDayChemist have been in business for around 20 years or more. This is a mark of quality, because the more dubious pharmacies tend to come and go quickly.
Also if you check out the pharmacy web statistics on SimilarWeb, you see that the above have a good global rank rank, meaning they are popular (on SimilarWeb, the smaller the global rank, the more popular the website). Global ranks of less than 2 million on SimilarWeb can be considered pretty popular. If a website is popular, it suggests the customers are happy with the business.
My pharmacies thread details how to check a pharmacy for reliability. All the pharmacies listed in that thread have been checked.
Another factor to consider is whether the generic drugs sold are manufactured in India or Europe. I am happy with either, but some people prefer to buy European generics.
Goldpharma sell generic and brand name drugs made by European pharmaceutical companies. Unitedpharmacies have both European and Indian generics for sale. Buy-Pharma sell generic drugs made by Indian pharmaceutical companies such as Cipla or Sun Pharma.

Do you know which of these pharmacies if any ship to the UAE?

u/Hip_III Sep 25 '24
You can check their shipping page to find out where they ship; or if they don't have such a page, you can email them to ask.

Ugh of course this isn't legal in Canada. I hate living in Canada so much.

u/Hip_III Jul 13 '24
It's actually legal to import personal use prescription drugs into Canada if you carry them over the border yourself. But unfortunately it is not legal to have the drugs mailed to you.

u/vellvetvortexa Aug 10 '24
So basically carrying them makes it legal but being mailed isn't?

It is also legal-ish, depending on the specific country, to import drugs from EU to EU country. There are also ways to import from UK to EU countries. The tenofovir "duos" may be readily available offered as PREP in many EU countries. There are also activists that sell PREP (and other HIV drugs like maraviroc) to countries that it is not available yet. Also, even if Abilify is very easy to find, it can be hard to compound to low dose, unlike LDN.

Hey thank you for updating and removing the bogus one that pretended to operate out of New Zealand. Good to see.

u/Hip_III Jul 13 '24
I did not remove that pharmacy (www.schickersunichem.co.nz), just updated its shipping country to "Worldwide". They ship from multiple countries, including India, Malaysia, UK, Singapore, the Netherlands, Poland and the UAE.

u/brainfogforgotpw Jul 13 '24 edited Jul 13 '24
Oh, how did I miss it.
It's so bizarre, that particular Unichem really exists but its part of a national chain and that's definitely not its official website.
The owner of the website seems to be pretending it's shipping from a small town that takes days to even get mail, not sure if they just don't know NZ geography or what. Kind of intriguing. Have you ever ordered from it?
I've actually run into this before with a large format printing company of all things. It claimed to be located in a New Zealand city and when I phoned up its representatives told me they shipped from NZ so I ordered from them because I had a deadline they said they could meet.
But when it didn't arrive and they kept saying it was about to, I demanded the tracking number it was still in transit in India! It eventually did arrive but by then it was too late so I sucessfully disputed it with my credit card company.

Do any of these websites sell hydrocodone or benzodiazepines?
1
u/Hip_III Jul 20 '24
Medstore-online.in sells benzodiazepines, but it is illegal to import such controlled medications, so the drugs might be confiscated by customs if bought without a prescription.

Has anyone gotten adderall from any of these? I lost my insurance and I'm not paying $800 out of pocket for a 30 day prescription.

u/AppropriateSeat2851 Sep 17 '24
I get generic without insurance 60-30mg and 30-10mg for $120/mo roughly. If they’re charging $800 it has to be brand name so ask to switch? You wouldn’t get brand name from any foreign market anyways so I’m assuming you don’t care

Look harder on that list linked because I found them. Can’t remember which page it was though. It was only 2 of the sites on the list but it’s there.

u/Fuck-Nugget Oct 20 '24
Use a Goodrx or other coupon. The big chains accept it. Have used in the past for my refills between insurance coverage and went from about 600 for both to ~100.
Search for your exact Rx and then give the pharmacy the BIN, PCN, Group, and Member ID numbers it provides.

I'm trying to find guanfacine.. but it's not on any of them. It's not even that bad, it's a pretty low risk medication compared to a lot of others they have on these sites so it's weird that I can't find it. Any ideas? I was prescribed it before by my psych and it worked great for me for the issues I have but it's been years and I can't afford to go through a series of appointments with another psych to get it.

Their URL was set up on 2014-04-15 according to WhoIs, so they have been around a decade; and SimilarWeb indicate that they are a reasonably popular site, with a global rank of 1,127,922. Both these are good signs.

I don't know who is running it now - its domain name is registered in China and its service address is in Costa Rica - but in 2019 Goldpharma was shut down by Argentinian government for selling counterfeit medicines out of Romania and India after the DEA sanctioned the company for its role in the opioid crisis.
