Buy online, safely

Often  you can reduce costs by ordering prescriptions online to be mailed to you. Your health insurance company might have a preferred mail-order pharmacy; call the number on your card to find out. Or go to vipps.info for a list of 17 pharmacies that have been approved for safety and privacy by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Mail-order pharmacies should be used only for medications you take regularly, not for drugs you need to treat a sudden illness.

• Stay safe tip: If you buy from a Web site, make sure it displays the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites Seal. Unverified sites may sell you counterfeit drugs that could endanger your health.
