Canadian drugs are safe. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for all online pharmacies. Here are some things to look for when buying prescription drugs online:

• Physical Presence: When you first visit an online pharmacy, look for a physical address. Make sure that the pharmacy is a "bricks and mortar" pharmacy with an actual physical presence in Canada.
• License Number: All legitimate pharmacies will have a license from the province in which they are registered. Look for a license number and check it with the regulatory authority in that province.
• Phone Number: Look for a phone number. Phone the pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist to confirm the information on their website and to ask them how many years they have been in business.
• Do you need a Prescription: All Canadian pharmacies require a prescription from your U.S. physician. Avoid any pharmacy that offers to sell you prescription drugs without one.
• Patient Information: The Canadian pharmacy should ask for both demographic and medical information about you.
• Physician or Nurse Consult: The Canadian pharmacy should have a Canadian physician or nurse review patient information.
• Access to the Pharmacist: You should have access to a Canadian pharmacist for medication counseling and drug information.
• Secure Delivery: Prescription drugs from Canada should be delivered in a secure and traceable method.
• Proper Labeling Each prescription drug should be labeled with the following:
  
  • Your name
  • Name of Canadian pharmacy
  • Name of Canadian physician
  • Name of drug
  • Strength and directions for use
  • Amount of drug dispensed and remaining quantity
  • Date drug was dispensed
