No, it is a violation of federal law to fill a prescription that was written by a “cyberdoc” who has not properly evaluated a patient.
While investigators rarely target consumers who receive prescription drugs from online pharmacies or overseas pharmacies, purchasing large amounts of drugs through foreign online sources and/or without a valid prescription can result in involvement by various federal law enforcement entities, and even charges of drug trafficking, importation, and more.
Penalties for receiving improperly prescribed prescription medications vary widely based on the specific charges, and the types of drugs being imported or ordered.
Using cyberdocs to write prescriptions raises the level of scrutiny further, as it may suggest a conspiracy to investigators.
These are serious charges that can result in significant penalties to you.
