I think what you describe is illegal in the U.S. State laws govern prescribing requirements. There is some variability. In Missouri, it is illegal for a physician to prescribe any medication outside of an established physician-patient relationship. That relationship is defined as the physician taking a history and performing some physical exam on the patient within the last twelve months, and having written records to document that such actions occurred. I have personal knowledge that somebody from the Board of Registration for the Healing Arts in Missouri applied online (as a patient)and received a prescription for Viagra from some internet outfit located in Minnesota last summer. The Board threatened to prosecute them for violating Missouri state laws regarding medical fraud and the website disappeared. Tom D
