Is it possible to get a prescription in the United States while abroad using an online medical service?
I'm going to travel to the U.S as a tourist and I take a prescription medication that cannot be stopped, due to the complications and risk of not being allowed to get the medication into the country, I wanted to explore the option of getting a prescription inside the U.S
Could it be possible to do so before entering the U.S?
[edit]
I plan to visit for 3 months
The medications aren't in the list of controlled substances
I consider bringing medications a risk because the approval happens in the moment I'm entering the country, since it is a very important medication, I would prefer, if possible, to make sure I will have medication for the visit beforehand. And alo because there's always the chance to commit a mistake, which if gets noted already far away from home it could be fatal.
