PharmacyChecker Questions & Answers

Hi Muhammed -- The PharmacyChecker Verification Program is closed to all international online pharmacies that offer to ship controlled substances, such as Adderall, into the United States. The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008 ("Ryan Haight Act") regulates the practice of online pharmacy at the federal level by making it "unambiguous that it is a per se violation of the [Controlled Substances Act] for a practitioner to issue a prescription for a controlled substance by means of the Internet without having conducted at least one in-person medical evaluation." (Federal Register/Vol. 74 No. 64, April 6th, 2009, p. 15599). We offer discount coupons on Adderall that you can use at local U.S. pharmacies in conjunction with a valid prescription: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/adderall/#us-prices

Hi Maribeth -- Eliquis is commonly-sought online due to the outrageously expensive price tag in the United States and elsewhere, for that matter. Overall, about one-third of medication filled in U.S. pharmacies are from India. It's important to note that there are problems with drug quality in India, mostly with products sold to poorer Indian communities and countries. Lawfully manufactured, Indian versions of medications sold online by international pharmacies, even if they are of high quality, are not necessarily and often not FDA-approved. If you order online from an Indian pharmacy, stick to those verified in the PharmacyChecker Verification Program. We verify the licenses of Indian pharmacies and inspect the pharmacy to make sure they meet our pharmacy practice standards. We detail more about Indian pharmacy safety in this blog post: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/askpc/are-indian-pharmacies-really-safe-the-prices-are-so-much-lower/

PharmacyChecker verifies online pharmacies for your safety while shopping meds online, ensuring you avoid counterfeit medications. Here is a list of legitimate online pharmacies to which you may want to send your prescription if they carry your medication: https://www.pharmacychecker.com/accredited-online-pharmacies/ Click on the logo of your preferred pharmacy to order through their website. International pharmacies do not accept U.S. health insurance—you will have to pay out-of-pocket, but it's usually cheaper than if you were to use your health insurance at your local pharmacy. You or your doctor will send your prescription to your chosen pharmacy based on their instructions. They usually accept it via fax or email. We require pharmacy websites verified and monitored by PharmacyChecker to disclose average processing and shipping times so patients know what to expect. We also require accredited pharmacies to ensure that the patient has access to a pharmacist for consultation and require that they clearly publish a working telephone number and valid mailing address on their website. Most pharmacies have a "Contact Us" page on their websites, which also typically includes their business hours. Some pharmacies also have a "Live Chat" option allowing you to ask questions while on the pharmacy's website. If you have any additional questions, let me know. I'm here to help.

Hi Maximo -- This is indeed a rogue online pharmacy that is using our PharmacyChecker Seal without our permission. Do not purchase your medication from this pharmacy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. One way we often identify rogues is by catching those that display a fake PharmacyChecker Seal. Displaying an unauthorized seal is fraud. We are continually trying to get rogue online pharmacies to remove the fake PharmacyChecker seals. If you see a PharmacyChecker Seal, click on it and make sure it takes you to a profile that is hosted on a website that has a web address starting with http://www.pharmacychecker.com or www.pharmacychecker.com. If it doesn't, then it's a fake seal. Most other online pharmacy verification programs work in the same manner, so CLICK THE SEAL to see if it's authentic.

Hi Gerald-- Thank you for your question. We share your concern about possible delays but we don't believe the public health crisis affects the safety of medication. Just a quick clarification: prescription drugs are not ordered through PharmacyChecker.com. PharmacyChecker verifies and accredits licensed international pharmacy websites through which prescription medication can be ordered. Our online pharmacy verifications continue on the same today as before the COVID-19 pandemic. To that effect, we have the same trust in PharmacyChecker-accredited online pharmacies. Since we do not have a role in the distribution of medicine, we do not know specifics about prescription order delays. We strongly urge that you check with your chosen online pharmacy regarding possible delays. All the best.
