Buying prescription drugs online requires caution. Only purchase from online pharmacies licensed by Health Canada. This ensures they meet Canadian quality and safety standards.
Health Canada’s website provides a searchable database of licensed online pharmacies. Verify the pharmacy’s license before making any purchase. Look for a clear display of their license number and contact information.
Be wary of suspiciously low prices or pharmacies lacking proper licensing. These are red flags indicating potentially illegal or unsafe operations. Do not hesitate to contact Health Canada directly with concerns.
Legitimate online pharmacies will require a valid prescription from a Canadian doctor. Uploading a scanned copy or providing other forms of electronic verification is commonly accepted.
Never share your personal or banking information with unlicensed pharmacies. Secure websites will use HTTPS encryption, indicated by a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
Remember: Protecting your health and safety is paramount. Choose licensed online pharmacies and exercise due diligence when purchasing medications online.
Report any suspicious online pharmacies to Health Canada. Their feedback helps them monitor and regulate the industry, protecting Canadians.
