Buy only from licensed online pharmacies that require a prescription. Verify their legitimacy through independent verification sites like LegitScript or CIPA.
Check the pharmacy’s website for contact information, including a physical address and phone number. Avoid sites with only email contact.
Look for secure checkout features (HTTPS) and a clear privacy policy. Discreet packaging is standard practice; however, unprofessional or suspiciously cheap packaging should raise concerns.
Never purchase from unregulated online marketplaces or social media platforms. These sources lack quality control and regulatory oversight, significantly increasing counterfeit risk.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide guidance on reputable suppliers and help you obtain a valid prescription if needed. They also provide valuable insight into product authenticity.
Report suspicious websites or pharmacies to the relevant authorities. This helps protect others from potentially harmful counterfeit products.
Examine the packaging carefully upon delivery. Discrepancies in printing, spelling, or the physical appearance of the medication compared to the manufacturer’s website could indicate a fake product.
