Buying Cialis online: between scams and prescriptions

Buying Cialis online: the odyssey between scams and generics

Where can you get Cialis without a prescription and without being ripped off? The question has more traps than answers. Between Andorran pharmacies that take your money and never ship, Czech chemists with six-euro shipping, and sellers operating by private message, the parallel market for erectile dysfunction is a minefield.

The most telling experience comes from someone who tried to buy from an online Andorran pharmacy: 60 euros gone and no trace of the pills. It is not an isolated case. The lure of cheap Indian generics collides with the reality that, without a verified channel, the money simply vanishes.

There are, however, those who defend the Czech route: a pharmacy in that country that ships for six euros. But is it legal? Is it safe? The short answer: in Spain, Cialis requires a doctor's prescription, and buying it outside regulated channels means taking risks that range from scams to counterfeits.

Against the shadiness, the advice repeated over and over: a healthy lifestyle, no prono, and a visit to your GP. It may not be the answer the impatient are looking for, but it is the only one that does not end in financial loss or a product of dubious origin.

Meanwhile, the online business carries on, with sellers offering "good price and fast shipping" with nothing but their word as a guarantee. The irony of the situation: for a drug that promises performance, the only one that truly works is the old reliable one: the prescription.
