Quick safety checklist before you buy or try a new medicine
Use this checklist every time you consider an online purchase or a new drug:
- Look for a license or accreditation. Trusted sites usually list their regulator or accreditation (CIPA, VIPPS, or local pharmacy board).
- Check contact info. A real pharmacy has a phone number and a licensed pharmacist you can reach.
- Use HTTPS and read reviews. Short, repeated complaints are red flags; one bad review isn’t enough to rule a site out.
- Watch the price. If the cost is wildly lower than everywhere else, pause and verify the product origin and expiry dates.
- Require a prescription for prescription drugs. Legit pharmacies will ask for one or offer a proper telemedicine consult.
- Check shipping, customs, and refund policies. Know who pays if a package is held or returned.
