Avoiding Scams and Counterfeit Medications

Always buy Cialis from licensed pharmacies with a physical address and verifiable contact information. Verify their legitimacy through your local pharmacy board or regulatory bodies.

Never purchase medication from websites lacking secure payment gateways (HTTPS) or those without customer reviews and testimonials. Look for a clear return policy.

Be wary of unusually low prices. Significant discounts compared to average prices often indicate counterfeit products or scams.

Examine the packaging carefully. Counterfeit medications often have poor printing quality, misspellings, or inconsistent labeling. Check for the manufacturer’s seal and any security features.

Confirm the medication’s authenticity using the manufacturer’s verification methods, such as checking serial numbers on their website. Many legitimate manufacturers provide online tools for this purpose.
