Safety with Regulatory Bodies like the NABP and PharmacyChecker.com

A new study confirms the effectiveness of regulatory websites or agencies in identifying legitimate online pharmacies. The report appeared in the Public Library of Science One, and it showed that internet drugstores that were certified by either PharmacyChecker or the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy offered genuine products. This was in stark contrast to sites that weren’t registered with either organization, as some of those sold more fake drugs.

As part of this study, researchers decided to buy medication online from more than 150 online pharmacies. NABP and PharmacyChecker-approved sites not only sold authentic medicine, but also required prescriptions before selling. The strict standards were set to distinguish rogue pharmacies from reputable ones.

This recent study confirms the effectiveness of having an external agency watching the online pharmacy industry. With more online pharmacies getting verification from regulatory bodies and verification sites like PharmacyChecker.com, rogue internet drugstores will soon have a very hard time getting business.
