Any site that advertises "
tramadol COD" (collect on delivery), "cheap tramadol," "cheap
Ultram," or "low price tramadol," is unlikely to be a legitimate pharmacy. Although tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram
®) is an opioid (
morphine-like) medication and may be abused, it is not classified as a
controlled substance under federal laws in the United States (individual states may categorize it as such). Because tramadol is not a controlled substance, it may be easier for people to buy the drug online illegally, compared to other opioid pain medications.
Tramadol can be obtained legally from online pharmacies. First, you need a legitimate prescription from a legitimate prescriber (such as a physician). After that, you can buy the drug from any licensed pharmacy (including legitimate Internet pharmacies). If the pharmacy does not require a legitimate prescription, this is a huge warning flag that the pharmacy is not legitimate. The best way to know if an Internet pharmacy is legitimate is to make sure that it is one of the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites™ (VIPPS®).
Of course, you can also
buy tramadol at your local pharmacy. Either way, make sure your pharmacist (including your online pharmacist) has a complete list of all the medications you are taking and any medical conditions you may have.
