Use of the Internet to buy medical products is growing rapidly. Many consumers benefit from the convenience and privacy of this new option. Unfortunately, both consumers and legitimate pharmacies are now being threatened by the “rogue sites” of fraudulent or disreputable Internet businesses that sell products illegally. While FDA is working to combat these illegal sites, these educational products can help to educate consumers on how to safely and legally buy medical products online.

In HIV therapy today, patients almost always take more than one antiretroviral medication at a time and possibly other drugs to treat co-existing conditions. While some drug combinations do not interact significantly in vivo, other drug combinations can affect the patient's safety and the effectiveness of his or her treatment. For this reason some drug combinations should not be given at all, while other drugs may be used together with caution, possibly requiring adjustments to dosage or time of administration.
