Be extremely careful with any online medication purchases and who you get them from, also that any prescription drugs actually do require prescriptions. Multiple places on line are or have been under investigation for selling expired drugs and even drugs that are copies of the packaging but not the right drug inside. That is the case for drugs both for veterinary use and human use.
If you search you will find a range of news stories on the problem.
I do not have time to look carefully but here are some pieces which may be of interest:

An example of the sort of thing happening (I am too busy right now to seek veterinary specific so generalize logically, please):
