Warning ~ Do Not Self-Medicate for Infertility

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

warningWarning! 

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of advertisements trying to encourage individuals suffering from infertility to purchase medicines online ”without a prescription.”  One of the biggies that’s mentioned again and again seems to be Clomid, but other drugs are named, too.

Please, please, please do not self-medicate for infertility concerns.  Though it might be tempting to order “top of the line medicines” (and who’s to tell whether they really are or not?) without first obtaining a doctor’s assessment, it’s very dangerous.

Exercise good judgment and avoid treating your infertility at home or through drugs you order via the Internet.  Sure, they might sound legit, but there’s no telling what they contain.  Additionally, they might be the wrong dose or script for your personal situation.

As with any other medical issue, head to a physician rather than take the word of an advertisement or spam email.  Don’t take a detour that could cost you time, money and, quite possibly, your health.
