How to assess an online source without assuming it is authorised.
⚠This educational material does not replace advice from a doctor or pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change a prescription medicine without professional guidance.
Rules for online pharmacies differ by country. Check the seller’s registration with the relevant national regulator and confirm whether a valid prescription is required.
A polished website or product image is not proof of authenticity. Avoid sellers that hide contact details, promise guaranteed results or bypass legal prescribing safeguards.
