How to Choose your Online Pharmacy
Ordering your medicines online is hugely convenient. Beyond this, having the option to choose a safe and reliable international pharmacy gives you access to non-controlled medications and greater personal choice.
For example, many individuals suffering from hypothyroidism like the opportunity to treat their condition using natural thyroid medication, specifically because it provides T3 thyroid hormone in addition to the T4 of synthetic thyroid. The only way for many to do this is to take control of their own medication purchases.
However, it can feel daunting choosing an online pharmacy, especially if they are internationally focused. So, what should you look for?
1.Authenticity and legalities
First check that the online pharmacy is a reputable and legal source of the medications you wish to buy. The online pharmacy should have been established for many years and offer clear indication of their license.
2.Check they understand your country
The rules on international medications vary enormously from country to country. Whilst the onus is on you to check, it is helpful if you know that your chosen international pharmacy understands your specific country restrictions and requirements.
For example, at International Pharmacy we provide an outline of the requirements for each country so that you know what to expect.
3.Manufacturer to you
It might seem obvious, but is surprisingly commonly overlooked. Check that the medications that you order and receive will be supplied to you in the original packaging from the manufacturer. This helps you to feel confident that the medication is exactly what you believe it to be.
4.Understanding what you need
Discuss with your doctor or healthcare practitioner what medications you need or intend to buy. They will help you decide how to safely do this. You can also do your own online research so that you feel fully informed.
5.Look at shipping options
It can take some time for international shipping. Therefore, make sure that you choose an international pharmacy that will be able to deliver to you within the timescale you need. A reputable international pharmacy will be honest and upfront with you about potential shipping times, as well as typical custom restrictions you might find.
6.Cost and currency
Don’t fall for ordering your medication in a different currency and being stung for surprising exchange fees. Dedicated international pharmacies will typically ensure that you can see prices displayed in common currencies such as pounds sterling, American dollars or Euros.
In this way you can select the currency which makes most sense to you so that you can confidently know how much your medications cost.
7.Data security
Lastly, you need to feel secure that your data is being handled securely and that your privacy is guarded. Look for a secure online ecommerce platform, and also check to ensure they have a clear and published privacy statement.
