How to Avoid Counterfeits
Green flags:
- Requires a real medical consultation (not just a checkbox questionnaire)
- Licensed US pharmacy dispenses the medication
- Has a verifiable US address and phone number
- Accepts insurance or has transparent cash pricing
Red flags to avoid:
- No prescription required
- Prices seem impossibly cheap
- Based overseas (especially Canada, India, random countries)
- Spam emails offering medication
- No medical consultation required
Safest Approach
- Use sites with NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) certification - look for the ".pharmacy" domain or VIPPS seal
- Your regular doctor or urologist remains the gold standard
- Generic sildenafil/tadalafil from legitimate sources is affordable and safe
