Guidelines for Buying Medicine Online
Discounts and ease of buying make buying medicine online an easier task than it used to be earlier. Online pharmacies need to be aware of the online pharmacy guidelines.
Some of the guidelines for buying medicine online include:
As more and more people are attracted to the numerous benefits online pharmacies offer, there is a rise in the risk and crime of fake doctors and fake pharmacies. Due to this situation, you must identify the illegal pharmacies that sell medicines without a prescription and unauthorised and counterfeit medicines.
Some checks/guidelines that can be performed before buying medicine online are:
Take the online pharmacy's registration number and cross-check the registration details with the regulatory body. The regulatory body will have a list of black-listed online pharmacies.
If the online pharmacy asks for the prescription before selling the medicines to you, it's a genuine online pharmacy. Do not buy medicines from online pharmacies which do not ask for a prescription.
Search the internet for complaints against the online pharmacy from which you plan to buy the medicines; if you find any warnings, it's recommended not to buy them from this site.
Check for the proper physical address of the online pharmacy. If you do not find a proper address, then do not buy the medicines from the online pharmacy.
Indian online pharmacies are members of the Indian Pharmacies Internet Association (IIPA), which is now known as a digital health platform(DHP).
Legal online pharmacies abide by the rules, which include,
They don't sell medicines without a prescription.
They don't sell Schedule X drugs
They provide a genuine bill for the purchase of medicines
They have a tampere-less packaging of medicines under the supervision of a pharmacist
They recall the medicine under any circumstances as per the government laws
