Although medication prices have become quite expensive for seniors, we don't advise seeking out medicine online, especially if the prices seem unbelievably cheap. Cases of counterfeit medication have increased from 5 per year in the 90's to over 20 each year since 2000. Not only can these scams hurt your wallet, but they can be very damaging to your health if the substances are unsafe or even something else entirely. As a rule of thumb, it's best to stick to doctor-prescribed medications and your local pharmacy.
