Check the pharmacy’s license and accreditation. Verify this information independently through official regulatory websites like the NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) for US pharmacies or similar organizations in your country. Look for a physical address and contact details readily available on their site, avoiding those using only PO boxes or vague locations.
Ensuring Secure Transactions
Confirm the pharmacy uses secure SSL encryption (look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar). Read customer reviews on independent review sites – not just those hosted on the pharmacy’s website. Pay attention to comments about shipping times, order accuracy, and customer service responsiveness. Always use a secure payment method like PayPal or a credit card with strong fraud protection.
Understand their return policy. Legitimate pharmacies usually offer transparent return policies for damaged or incorrectly shipped goods. Scrutinize their privacy policy; it should clearly outline how they handle your personal and medical data. If anything feels unclear or suspicious, avoid the pharmacy.
