Buying pharmaceuticals online is relatively risky for a number of reasons. Besides your personal health, your personal financial information must also be protected.
Unspecified ingredients
The drugs or medication may contain too much or too little in dosage, or it may contain dangerous ingredients that have not been approved by the authorities. Even slight variations can make a big difference in whether you get better or worse.
Substandard products
The drugs may look legit, but they could be counterfeit or expired. You must ascertain the authenticity of the products you are purchasing.
Fake payment systems
Such systems are set up to capture your personal and financial details, then the information is misused, e.g. data is sold to other internet scams, and you are charged for products you did not buy or harassed with unsolicited phone calls and emails. Check that the website you are browsing uses a reliable payment service provider, like Awepay.
Signs of a fake online pharmacy:
1. Cheaper than market rates
2. No physical store or correspondence address
3. You are allowed to buy drugs without a doctor’s prescription
4. Ships worldwide
