Purchasing Medications From Online Pharmacies
hEALThCARE
If you purchase or obtain medications over the Internet, you should be concerned about counterfeit drugs.
while the Internet has made it possible to compare prices and buy products without ever leaving home, it
has also made it easy for unscrupulous people to sell unapproved and counterfeit drugs to unsuspecting customers. In some countries, this is a rare occurrence; in others, it is an everyday reality. Based on its assessment
of more than 1,000 Internet drug outlets selling medicine online, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) found that 97 percent of these sites appear to be operating out of compliance with state
and federal laws or established patient safety and pharmacy practice standards.
The safest online pharmacies are accredited by the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS). Created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), VIPPS is the most trusted and respected means
for the public to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate online drug sellers. Visit www.vipps.info for a
complete listing of VIPPS pharmacies.
It is illegal to sell a prescription medication in the U.S. without a prescription. If an online pharmacy
allows you to do this, then it is not an accredited pharmacy, and your chances of receiving a counterfeit drug
are much higher.
The Partnership for Safe Medicines offers several tools, including "Tips for Safe Online Buying" and "warning Signs," to teach consumers how to safely order prescription drugs over the Internet. For additional information visit www.safemedicines.org
