Check the pharmacy’s license and registration with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) of India. Verify this information independently on the CDSCO website. Look for a clearly displayed physical address and contact details; avoid pharmacies with only PO boxes or vague contact information.
Securing Your Information
Prioritize pharmacies using secure HTTPS connections (indicated by a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar). Read their privacy policy carefully – it should clearly outline how they handle your personal and medical information. Look for compliance with data protection regulations like the Indian Information Technology Act. Confirm their use of secure payment gateways to protect your financial details.
Authenticity of Medicines
Legitimate online pharmacies provide detailed product information, including manufacturer details and batch numbers. They offer easy access to product registration details, enabling you to confirm authenticity directly with the manufacturer. Be wary of suspiciously low prices; they often indicate counterfeit products. Contact the pharmacy directly with questions about product sourcing and authenticity; expect prompt, clear answers.
