Verify the seller’s legitimacy. Check online reviews and ratings from independent sources. Look for a physical address and contact information; avoid sellers offering only email or untraceable contact methods. Compare prices; unusually low prices often signal counterfeit products.
Inspecting the Packaging
Examine the packaging carefully for inconsistencies. Look for clear, legible printing, proper spelling, and a tamper-evident seal. Misspellings, blurry images, or easily removed seals indicate potential counterfeits. Check the batch number and expiry date against the manufacturer’s database if possible. Discrepancies are a red flag.
Checking the Pills Themselves
Compare the pills’ appearance to images on the official manufacturer’s website. Note the color, shape, size, and any markings. Differences suggest a fake product. Be cautious of pills with unusual colors or smells. Report any inconsistencies to relevant authorities.
