Chalfont, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2015 -- A recent About Health article written by fertility expert Rachel Gurevich explains why many offers that purport to sell miracle fertility drugs are exploitative scams. Even when well-intentioned sellers of off-market prescription drugs might not be as reliable as they claim to be. Purchasing these drugs or treatments puts patients' wallets and health at risk. Pennsylvania Reproductive Specialists, a clinic offering IVF in Philadelphia, supports Gurevich's cautionary statements and urges its patients to make sure that they obtain fertility treatments only from reputable doctors
Gurevich writes in depth about several warning signs of fertility treatment scams. Scams that promise instant results or, indeed, guarantee results at all should be avoided. "[N]ot even the very best fertility clinic in the world, with the very best technology and limitless amounts of money…can guarantee you'll get pregnant," writes Gurevich.
Similarly, unusually low prices are also a warning sign, as are vague claims about ingredients or medications being backed by "research" without citing said research. Gurevich also advises against buying into aggressive sales tactics. Most purported vendors of "miracle" fertility drugs who use these tactics are scam artists who prey on the hopelessness or vulnerability of women struggling with infertility.
Furthermore, Gurevich writes that no one should purchase third-party fertility drugs from women with leftover medication. The drugs might be ineffective or dangerous. Gurevich also warns that some disreputable fertility clinics will sell leftover medication, as well. However, a reputable fertility clinic will write patients their own prescription of the appropriate medication after careful consultation and analysis of their individual physical needs.
At Pennsylvania Reproductive Specialists, patients will find only reputable fertility doctors in the Philadelphia-area clinic. The clinic's attentive patient care and high pregnancy success rate can assuage fertility issues more than online scams can.
