Question 3

can i get clonidine online?

Accepted Answer

With prescription.: With a legal prescription written by a licensed prescriber, you may be able to order Clonidine from an on-line pharmacy. I know there are people who order medications from off-shore internet pharmacies, but i would so discourage this. I have seen people who have missed the mark by self-prescribing, and it can be dangerous. It's challenging enough with proper training. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
