Verify the pharmacy’s license and accreditation. Look for verification seals from organizations like LegitScript or PharmacyChecker.
- Check for a physical address and contact information readily available on the website. Avoid pharmacies with only PO boxes. Scrutinize the website for professionalism and clarity. Poor grammar, broken links, or confusing layouts are red flags. Read reviews from other customers. Pay close attention to experiences with shipping, customer service, and product authenticity.
Secure your personal information. Only use websites with secure HTTPS connections (look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar).
Never submit your credit card information or personal details unless the site has robust security measures. Be wary of pharmacies asking for excessive personal information beyond what’s needed for the transaction. Use strong passwords and avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.
Understand the return policy. A reputable pharmacy will clearly outline their return and refund policies. Review this information before placing your order.
- Confirm the pharmacy’s process for handling returns and refunds. A transparent process shows a commitment to customer satisfaction. Check for customer testimonials and reviews addressing the return process.
Consult your doctor. Always discuss online pharmacy options with your physician to ensure safe and effective medication use.
