Ordering Medications Safely from Canada

Verify the pharmacy’s license with Health Canada. Check their website for a registration number and confirm it on the Health Canada website.

Look for secure payment methods. Credit card payments processed through reputable gateways like Stripe or PayPal offer better protection against fraud.

Read online reviews carefully. Pay attention to details, not just overall star ratings. Multiple negative reviews detailing similar issues should raise a red flag.

Confirm the medication’s authenticity. Check for manufacturer details and batch numbers on the packaging. Compare this to the information provided by the pharmacy and the manufacturer’s website.

Contact the pharmacy directly. Ask questions about shipping times, return policies, and their contact information. Be wary of pharmacies that are unresponsive or avoid answering specific questions.

Understand import regulations. Contact Canadian customs to ensure you comply with regulations regarding importing prescription drugs.
