Only purchase generic Viagra from licensed online pharmacies or brick-and-mortar pharmacies with a valid prescription from your doctor. This is the single most important step to ensure both safety and legality.
Verify the pharmacy’s legitimacy:
- Check for a valid license and registration with your country’s regulatory bodies (e. g., the FDA in the US, MHRA in the UK). Look for secure website protocols (HTTPS). A padlock icon should appear in your browser’s address bar. Read online reviews from verified customers. Be wary of overwhelmingly positive reviews–they might be fake. Contact the pharmacy directly. Legitimate pharmacies will readily provide contact information and answer your questions.
Beware of these common red flags:
Extremely low prices: Prices significantly below average are a major warning sign of counterfeit medication. Pressure to buy immediately: Legitimate pharmacies won’t rush you into a purchase. Requests for personal information beyond what’s needed for the transaction (e. g., bank account details beyond payment processing). Lack of clear contact information or a physical address. Vague or misleading claims about the product’s effectiveness.
If you’re unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist. They can help you identify reputable sources and discuss appropriate treatment options.
