Double-check your prescription against your medication bottle immediately upon receiving it. Compare the medication name, dosage, and quantity carefully. Any discrepancies? Contact us immediately.
Confirming Details
Verify your doctor’s information matches your records. Check the prescribing physician’s name, contact details, and license number. Any questions? Call your doctor to confirm the prescription is authentic.
Examine the pharmacy’s details. Look for a license number and contact information readily available on their website or packaging. Legitimate Canadian pharmacies are easily verifiable online via their licensing information.
Spotting Potential Issues
Look for inconsistencies in the prescription’s formatting or handwriting. Unclear or suspicious-looking prescriptions warrant contacting your doctor for clarification. Report anything unusual to the pharmacy immediately.
Be wary of unusually low prices. While discounts are possible, exceptionally low pricing may indicate counterfeit medication. Prioritize safety over cost. If it feels too good to be true, it probably is.
Securely store your medication as directed on the label. This prevents accidental misuse and maintains drug efficacy. Discard outdated medications properly, following local guidelines for disposal.
