Check the Israeli Ministry of Health’s website for a list of licensed online pharmacies. This provides a crucial first step in verifying legitimacy.
Verifying Pharmacy Credentials
Confirm the pharmacy’s registration number and physical address. A reputable pharmacy will openly display this information. Look for secure website features like HTTPS encryption (the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar). Contact the pharmacy directly; legitimate businesses readily answer questions about their licensing and operations. Read online reviews from verified customers, paying attention to both positive and negative feedback. Be wary of pharmacies with overwhelmingly positive reviews, as this can be a sign of manipulation. Discrepancies between the website information and customer reviews should raise a red flag.
Compare prices across multiple licensed pharmacies. While significant price variations can indicate a problem, slight differences are normal. Consider factors beyond price, prioritizing safety and legality.
