Not all Internet
pharmacies are created equal.
Some aren’t even pharmacies.
Many Internet sites that sell medicine are not legitimate
pharmacies. Make sure a Web site is a state-licensed pharmacy that is located in the United States. Find
your state’s contact information from the National Association of
Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) at
www.nabp.info.
Some sites display the Seal of the Verified Internet Pharmacy
Practice Sites™ (VIPPS) Program. For a list of state-licensed
pharmacies that carry the Seal, go to
www.vipps.info.
