How to spot a rogue online pharmacy

Illegitimate "pharmacy" sites put your health and money at risk — counterfeit or contaminated medicines are common. Be cautious if a site:

  • Sells prescription drugs with "no prescription required".
  • Has no verifiable licence or physical address.
  • Offers prices that seem too good to be true.
  • Has no named, reachable, licensed pharmacist.
  • Sends unsolicited email or spam offers.

Check before you trust

Before using any online pharmacy, verify it with an official regulator or accreditation programme, for example:

  • Your national medicines regulator or pharmacy board
  • NABP .pharmacy accreditation (US)
  • CIPA membership (Canada)
  • The EU common logo for online pharmacies (EU/EEA)

When in doubt, ask your own doctor or local pharmacist.
