Have you ever purchased penicillin over the web?!
Question: Was it legitamate?
Answers: Was it legitamate?
Well it depends. If you have a doctors prescription and you are dealing with an american pharmacy it is safe. If you are dealing with a foreign pharmacy you can have problems. Many foreign pharmacies are honest and supply quality drugs. You do not need a prescription to order. Here is the best one I have found. They are on the up and up. There products are exactly what they say they are.

You can purchase any drug at all over the internet. If you are doing so because you don't want to involve your doctor there are two problems. 1. You may or may not be treating your ailment properly or totally. and 2. you have absolutely no idea if it is penicillin.
Antibiotics are generally available in generic form and are therefore not prohibitively expensive. Also, you could be allergic, have an interaction with a medication you are already taking, or need a certain type (there are many, many kinds of antibiotics for certain conditions). Online pharmacies, especially those overseas (and you can NOT tell they are overseas, web sites all look like you are ordering in the US) often substitute something that does not contain the ingredients you seek.
If you have a prescription and are ordering from a reputable pharmacy like Walgreens, it is just fine, but something tells me from your email that is not what you are doing.
I hope that if you need to be treated for something, you are not avoiding a doctor because you are embarrassed. Docs go to med school and treat the body for ailments and any illness or problem is just that. If you are worried about money, call and ask what the charge is if you don't have insurance.
Please look after yourself and get the right treatment, and the right care. My guess is you are worth it.
I have not done so personally, but a close friend tried to purchase "Cheap" viagra over the internet, didn't receive anything.
I'm not saying every person who has ever purchased drugs online will encounter this, but when you think about it, anyone who can register a domain and set up web hosting can run a so-called "internet pharmacy". The products range from the real thing to colored water to nothing at all to a credit card scam.
