Cross-Checking and Double-Checking Online Drug Purchases
Overview
Purchasing medication online can be convenient, but it also comes with risks, such as receiving the wrong medication. To ensure that you receive the correct drugs, it's vital to take a few simple steps, mainly involving a visual inspection of the medication and its packaging.
Key Points
Domestic Purchases
Always ensure that both the pharmacy and medications are based in the US. Foreign pharmacies may sell drugs not approved by the FDA, which could be harmful. Moreover, US customs often intercept restricted or banned medications at the border. Buying from a US-based pharmacy ensures adherence to FDA regulations.
Visual Inspection
Once you receive the medication, perform a visual inspection. If you are familiar with the drug, compare its appearance and label with previous prescriptions. Pharmaceutical companies rarely change their products' appearance, so check for consistency in color, shape, and labeling. Any discrepancies could indicate a counterfeit product.
Online Verification
Utilize online medical databases to verify your medication. These resources provide detailed information about drug dosage, form (tablet or pill), and variations. They also offer vital information about side effects and warnings, enhancing your ability to confirm the medication's authenticity.
Sensory Familiarity
As a final measure, familiarize yourself with your medication's sensory characteristics, such as taste or smell. Although many medications lack a distinctive smell, some have a recognizable taste. If your new prescription differs significantly from previous ones, consult a pharmacist to check for any changes in chemical composition.
By following these steps, you can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of medications purchased online. Always stay informed and proactive to protect your health.
