Check the Washington State Department of Health website for a list of licensed pharmacies in Spokane. This provides a verified directory of legitimate businesses.
Use online pharmacy locators like those provided by major pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid). These tools offer convenient searches by address or zip code.
Look for pharmacies with a physical address in Spokane and a phone number you can call to verify their existence and services. Avoid online-only pharmacies without verifiable contact information.
Confirm the pharmacy’s accreditation and licensing through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) website. This independent organization verifies legitimate pharmacy operations.
Read online reviews from verified customers. Reputable pharmacies usually have a positive track record and easily accessible customer reviews. Pay attention to reviews concerning prescription fulfillment and customer service.
Consult your doctor or healthcare provider. They can provide recommendations for local pharmacies they trust and regularly use for prescription fulfillment.
Always ask about their policies regarding prescription refills, privacy, and medication safety. A transparent and accountable pharmacy will readily provide this information.
