Forum Rules

1. What this forum is

pharmacy-forum.com is an independent discussion board about medicines, supplements, nootropics, peptides, performance pharmacology and online pharmacy safety. It is a place to compare experiences and understand published information. It is not a pharmacy, a medical service, or a marketplace.

2. No sourcing, no selling, no prescribing

Members may not use this forum to buy, sell, trade, gift, source or advertise any medicine, prescription product, controlled substance, or “research chemical”. This includes requests for suppliers, price lists, private messages offering stock, and links to sites that sell prescription medicines without a prescription. Asking where to buy something is the most common way to get a post removed.

Do not ask for or provide dosing advice for a specific person, do not offer to prescribe, and do not present yourself as a clinician unless you hold the relevant professional registration.

3. Allowed discussion

  • Prescription and non-prescription (OTC) medicines, supplements, nootropics, peptides and anabolic steroids, discussed as experience or as published research.
  • Personal experiences with side effects, tolerance, tapering and withdrawal, clearly labelled as personal experience.
  • How to verify whether an online pharmacy is licensed, and how cross-border rules work.
  • Shipping, customs and payment problems described in general terms, without naming sources.
  • Counterfeit detection, pill identification and testing services.

4. Posting standards

  • Always name the active ingredient, not only the brand.
  • Link your sources. A regulator, a peer-reviewed paper or a pharmacopoeia beats a blog.
  • Disclose any commercial interest, employment or affiliation in the first line of your post.
  • No affiliate, referral or shortened links. No tracking parameters.
  • No personal data: no addresses, phone numbers, order numbers, tracking numbers, prescriptions or photographs of documents.
  • One account per person. Sockpuppets and vote manipulation lead to a permanent ban.

5. Moderation

Moderators may edit, move, lock or delete any post that breaches these rules, without prior notice. Content that appears to facilitate illegal supply is removed and the account is suspended. Repeated breaches lead to a permanent ban. Decisions can be appealed in the User Feedback & Suggestions forum.

6. Nothing here is medical advice

Posts are personal experience and reading, not clinical advice. Never change, start or stop a treatment because of a thread. Read the Medical Disclaimer.

7. Language and conduct

The general boards use English. Dedicated Italian, French, German and Spanish sections accept their respective languages. Be civil. Harassment, discrimination, medical shaming and disclosure of another member’s health information are not tolerated. The NSFW forum exists precisely so the rest of the board can stay clean.
