Prioritise registered pharmacies. Check the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) register to confirm a pharmacy’s legitimacy. This simple step protects you from counterfeit medications.
Verify Online Pharmacies
- Look for a physical address and contact details on the website. Check for secure payment gateways (HTTPS). A padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar indicates a secure connection. Read customer reviews independently. Don’t rely solely on reviews displayed on the pharmacy’s site. Confirm the pharmacy is registered with a UK regulatory body like the GPhC or the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Avoid suspiciously cheap prices. Unreasonably low pricing often signals counterfeit products.
Choosing a Supplier: A Step-by-Step Guide
Search the GPhC register using the pharmacy’s name. Verify their registration details. Carefully review the website for signs of legitimacy (as listed above). Compare prices across several registered pharmacies, but remember that the cheapest option isn’t always the best. Read independent reviews from multiple sources. Contact the pharmacy directly with questions about their service and product authenticity. Expect a professional and informative response.
Using a Doctor’s Prescription

Report Suspicious Suppliers
Report any suspected illegal or unsafe online pharmacies to the MHRA or your local authorities. This helps protect others from potential harm.
