Verify the pharmacy’s license with the Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec. Their website provides a search function to confirm registration. Always prioritize pharmacies with physical addresses in Quebec, avoiding solely online vendors based outside the province.
Ensuring Safe and Legal Purchase
Check for secure payment gateways (HTTPS) and clear privacy policies. Reputable pharmacies openly display contact information–phone number, physical address, and email–allowing easy communication. Look for a pharmacist’s consultation option before dispensing medication. This is a hallmark of a legitimate pharmacy, prioritizing patient safety.
Compare prices from different licensed pharmacies, but remember that significantly lower prices may indicate counterfeit products. Do not hesitate to contact your doctor or another healthcare provider for guidance if you have doubts about a supplier’s legitimacy.
