Choose reputable online pharmacies accepting major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and PayPal. These methods offer buyer protection programs.
Verifying Pharmacy Legitimacy
Check for a valid SSL certificate (look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar). This ensures encrypted communication, protecting your data during transactions. Verify the pharmacy’s license and registration with relevant authorities. Look for a physical address and contact information. Avoid sites lacking this transparency.
Protecting Your Data
Use strong, unique passwords for online accounts. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites. Enable two-factor authentication whenever available. Be cautious of phishing emails or suspicious links requesting personal or financial information. Only use secure Wi-Fi networks when accessing your online pharmacy account.
Report any suspicious activity immediately to your bank and the online pharmacy. Regularly review your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized charges.
