Verify the pharmacy’s license with the provincial regulatory authority. Each province maintains a list of registered pharmacies; check this list before making any purchase. This simple step significantly reduces your risk.
Checking Pharmacy Credentials
Look for a physical address and contact information on the website. Legitimate Canadian pharmacies will provide this clearly. Avoid sites lacking transparent contact details. Inspect their security features; a secure site (HTTPS) protects your personal information.
Understanding Canadian Drug Regulations
Canadian law requires a valid prescription for all medications, including Viagra. Purchasing without one is illegal, both in Canada and in your country of residence. Ensure you obtain a legitimate prescription from a licensed physician before ordering.
Identifying Potential Risks
Counterfeit medications pose serious health risks. Purchasing from unregulated online pharmacies increases this risk substantially. Be wary of unusually low prices; they often indicate inferior or fake products. Report suspicious online pharmacies to the relevant authorities.
Protecting Your Health and Safety
Consult your doctor before starting any new medication, including Viagra. Discuss potential drug interactions and side effects. Your physician can provide personalized advice and ensure safe medication use.
