About Online Pharmacy:
Quality RX is a well established pharmaceutical supply company with experience in delivering high quality, low cost pharmaceuticals to a worldwide market. They offer one of the largest and most diverse product ranges available on-line. With a 24 hour turnaround from orders recieved to despatch, they can offer a very reliable, confidential and cost effective service to their clients. They have a number of reliable manufacturers and wholesalers around the world that provide them with quality generic and name brand pharmaceuticals. Their aim is simple. To offer their clients the best service and the lowest possible price. You do not need a prescription to buy their products as they work under the laws of the country they ship from. They do recommend you check with your local customs to see if it is okay to import these products. For all their products they recommend you seek medical advice before use. They do not offer consultations in any form.
All drugs that they offer on their site are in their generic form, and listed by their brand name. Every drug in existence is given a generic name upon its creation. The most popular and mass marketed drugs are then given a copyright brand or trade name for sales purposes. This is very similar to the way actors use a stage name. Just as the actor is one person with two names, these drugs are one chemical with two names. Stage names and brand names serve the same purpose, for the public to identify and easily remember the specific drug. The drugs supplied by Quality RX are manufactured in India, home to an enormous pharmaceutical industry, largely owned and operated by US drug companies. Under international law, Indian patent law allows scientists to reverse-engineer the active molecule of brand name drugs using a different process than the original patent, thereby allowing these manufacturers to obtain a process patent of their own. These drugs, legally made and patented in India without huge development and advertising costs, can be sold legally worldwide, at a fraction of the cost of the name brand they duplicate. That is why Quality RX can offer their low prices. As a result, India has become the largest producer of generic drugs in the world, with a quality that meets all health and medical standards. Their pills and caps are factory machine sealed in bubble packaging, untouched by human hands. They accept both Visa Card and Mastercard as a form of payment. They apologise for any inconvenience caused by not offering more payment solutions.
