I'm exploring my options for legally obtaining my hormones, once I get the prescription. I'm looking for reliable, reputable online pharmacies that ONLY dispense with a prescription. I intend to shop around and compare reliability, convenience and cost in making my decision.
Also, are any of the commonly used feminizing drugs/hormones not regularly stocked in the average/small pharmacy? If somethings going to be constantly "on backorder - expected delivery in 3 weeks", then I need to know, and find a place that DOES try to keep it in stock.
Thanks!

Hi Hazumu,
I have never had a problem with CVS pharamcy. They are pretty much everywhere(at least in the South) and very reliable. They usually have the items in stock as many women use these same drugs. The higher dosages required by a TS may not be in stock but once they have your prescription they do try to anticipate your need. So if they have to order it the first time it will be there the next time you need a refill.
As to online pharmacies I don't know of many and one I do know does not require a prescription. They are quite reputable though. However I won't mention the name here as it might encourage those who would self medicate.
Hope that helps some.

I know that there are several Canadian pharmacies who ship to the States. They only deal with prescriptions and the cost is generally much cheaper.
Sorry I can't help with names...

Exactly the reason why I said they must require 'scrips. It'd set a bad example if I were using one that didn't have that safeguard against unsupervised use.

It's a Canadian Pharmacy, so it's cheap. I've been a customer of their's for a year and a half & I've had no problems wtih them. Once I place the order it gets to NYC in 7-13 days. Their phone representatives are very courteous, it's very easy to get one on the phone and they're typically available 24-7.
And yes, they require a prescription.
