Always buy medication from a registered pharmacy. Check the pharmacy’s registration status with your national regulatory body. This ensures they meet safety and quality standards.
Verify the authenticity of the medication. Look for tamper-evident packaging and compare the product’s appearance with images on the manufacturer’s website. Report any discrepancies to the pharmacy immediately.
Consult your doctor before starting any medication, even over-the-counter drugs. Discuss potential interactions with other medications you are taking and any pre-existing health conditions.
Only use medications prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Never share your medication with others, and always follow the dosage instructions precisely.
Store medications correctly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
Dispose of expired or unwanted medications safely. Check with your local pharmacy or waste management service for proper disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and accidental ingestion.
Be wary of websites offering unusually low prices or those without a physical address. Legitimate pharmacies are transparent about their location and contact details.
Report any suspected counterfeit medications to the appropriate authorities. Your health and safety depend on accessing legitimate sources of medication.
