Understanding the Legality and Safety of Canadian Medications

Always verify a pharmacy’s legitimacy through Health Canada’s website before ordering. This ensures the pharmacy is licensed and operates legally.

Check the medication’s packaging for Health Canada approval markings. These confirm the drug’s authenticity and safety standards compliance. Look for a Drug Identification Number (DIN).

Understand Canadian drug pricing. Prices vary. Compare prices across different licensed pharmacies to find the best deal.

Be aware of potential customs regulations. Your country may have specific rules about importing medications. Research these rules before ordering.
