Test meds before you buy online - now an online lab provides quantitative analytical services

Many of us are aware of the risks involved in buying medications from
online pharmacies. They are cheap, yes. But, dont we often wonder if
the tablets are real and contain what they supposed to have. Wouldn't
it be great if you not only save money buying the meds cheap online
but also have the peace of mind knowing they are authentic. Test the
meds before you make big purchase is a no brainer. Now, there is an
online lab service that provides quantitative analyses of the
medicinal formulations. The website address is www.pharmcabinet.com.

How can you trust them not trying to scam you? They are aware of your
concern. To prove they are legit, they suggest that you send in
tablets you obtained from your physician or a reputable local pharmacy
as your own gold standard reference, along with the online purchase.
They insist that you DONT tell them which one is which. In other
words, they want you to do the test that is blinded to them! This way,
you can judge whether their services are up to par or not. If your
standard samples do not come back spot on the labeled amount, they
would either ofter to test it again for free or refund your money.

Go to www.PharmCabinet.com to test the drugs you buy from online
pharmacies.

I have checked out this site as I buy my own meds and those for my
parents off of the net often. I often am leery about what I have been
getting for my money. Yes I saved a lot of money buying online. But it
would be great if I knew what I got for the bucks. This lab www.pharmcabinet.com
provides precisely the services I have been looking for. I will try it
out. Initially I would do a blinded testing as they suggested on their
site. This way, I figure they will not be able to just tell me what I
want to hear as they don't know which sample is which. Once they have
earned my trust, I will use them more.

I have just tried out the lab services provided by www.pharmacabinet.
com. I think if you have a simlar mindset as mine you would feel that
the money is well spent on the service. Here is what I did. I bought a
10 day supply of Lipitor 40 mg (10 pills) from an online pharmacy and
sent in 6 pills along with 6 pills of Lipitor 20 mg I obtained from my
doc as samples. BTW, I made the samples blinded to the lab (I simply
labeled them as Liptior tablets from source #1 and source #2). I
received the results back from the lab with the online purchase right
about twice the amount as the sample Lipitor (40 mg online purchase vs
20 mg standard). Immediately I followed up with a purchase for a 180
day supply at the online pharmacy from the same manufacturer (same
batch number - make sure you ask for the same batch number). I figure
my net cost saving for this transaction, minus the outlay for the lab
test, is about $280 for a 180 day supply.

My calculations were based on the CVS.com online price of $680 (for
180 Lipitor 40 mg pills) and the online pharmacy's price of $280 (for
180 Lipitor 40 mg pills). The difference of $400 is offset by the lab
test cost of $120 ($75 1st sample + $40 second sample +$5 mailing).
Hence, my net saving is about $280. I could have saved $560 for a 1
year worth of supply.

My plan is that as long as I can buy from the same online place and
from the same manufacturer for the same drug I have already tested
with pharmcabinet, I will take the risk of not testing it more than a
couple of times a year. For a new medication I want to buy, I will
adopt the above strategy: a small purchase first followed up with a
larger order, after the results coming back positive. I think this
will save me quite some dough over long term. BTW, I will recommend
the site to set up a customer blog so that good online places can be
shared among the customers.
