No prescription
It is illegal to sell a prescription medicine to someone who does not have a prescription.
A checkout page is not a clinical visit.
Pause before payment
What makes it time to stop and check?
One odd detail may have an explanation. Several of these together are a strong reason to leave the page and use official records.
The clearest signs
What belongs on the stop list?
Research label plus human-use clues
The FDA has told sellers that a research-only label does not change the product’s status when the site also provides mixing water or instructions for preparing a human injection.
No real assessment
A fixed online form alone, without a chance to ask follow-up questions, falls short of Federation of State Medical Boards guidance. That national group’s guidance is advice, not law.
False approval claim
Any statement that FDA has approved a compounded medicine is false.
Compounding can be appropriate, but it is not approval.
Hidden pharmacy
The FDA says people using online platforms may not know which pharmacy or facility made the medicine or whether it is properly licensed.
Get the registered name before payment.
Too-good price
The FDA lists a price that seems too good to be true as an online-pharmacy warning sign.
Compare the full ordinary-month cost, not the opening offer.
Do not trust the look
Are seals and badges enough?
The Federal Trade Commission warns that official-looking seals, logos and guarantees on a health website can be faked.
Use the Texas board links. A badge is only a clue; a state record is the check.

A simple exit line
“I need the clinician’s full name and the pharmacy’s registered name before I continue.”
