VIPPS Safety
Check
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which enforces uniform pharmacy standards to protect public
health, has created a database to identify online pharmacies that are appropriately licensed and operating legitimately on the Internet.
Approved online pharmacies must complete a rigorous criteria review and inspection.
Before making an online prescription
purchase, check the pharmacy site with NABP’s Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS) below.
After entering the
pharmacy’s website address and some other brief information, VIPPS will search its database of licensed online pharmacies.
If the
pharmacy you have entered is listed in the VIPPS search results, it is licensed. If the pharmacy you have listed does not appear, you
may want to choose another online pharmacy or contact NABP to find out why the one you have listed is not in the VIPPS
database.
For information on the VIPPS database and NABP, visit the NABP
website.
