How to Avoid Counterfeits
Green flags:
- Requires a real prescription or physician consultation
- Has a verifiable US pharmacy license (check NABP.pharmacy)
- Uses NABP-accredited ".pharmacy" domain
- Has physical US address and phone number
Red flags to avoid:
- No prescription required
- Prices seem impossibly cheap
- Based overseas with no US verification
- Spam emails offering medication
- No licensed pharmacist available
Practical Tips
- Verify any pharmacy at nabp.pharmacy (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy)
- Legitimate sites charge for the consultation - that's normal
- Generic sildenafil/tadalafil from licensed pharmacies is safe and much cheaper than brand names
The legitimate telehealth sites are genuinely convenient and medically sound.
