I buy Sumatriptan now and again, and i always get my order, and when one af the variants is out of stock i get an email asking what my preference is regarding my order. Given the different types of migraine medication and their contents, it is necessary that i get the right one.

I have never had a problem, and if there was an issue ever, it was very easy to sort with the staff support.
