Verify a pharmacy’s license through the provincial regulatory college. Each province maintains a list of registered pharmacies on its website. For example, Ontario’s College of Pharmacists provides a searchable database. Use this resource to confirm licensing before purchasing medication.
Using Online Resources
Reputable online pharmacies display their licensing information prominently. Look for a clear statement showing their registration details and physical address. Check the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) website for verified online pharmacies. CIPA members adhere to high standards of practice.
Contacting the Pharmacy Directly
Don’t hesitate to contact the pharmacy directly. Ask for their license number and location. A legitimate pharmacy will readily provide this information. Confirm that the pharmacist is licensed to practice in their province.
