Check an online pharmacy

Record which independent checks you completed and what still needs an answer. This worksheet does not certify a pharmacy.

Still to check
Check that the listed US address and telephone number match the license record.

The example shows the output format. Use your own verified information and take unresolved questions to the appropriate professional.

Using this tool

Turn your entries into a useful record

Record which independent checks you completed and what still needs an answer. This worksheet does not certify a pharmacy. Entries are assembled into a downloadable worksheet. Marking a check complete records your own action; it does not certify a medicine, pharmacy or document.
This worksheet organizes information for a conversation. It does not verify a prescription, choose treatment or assess safety.
Match independent records
Compare the pharmacy name, address and telephone number on the website or package with the relevant state license record. A polished website or a license number printed on a page is not independent confirmation.
Before you finish

Pause on unresolved differences

Package or productUnexpected appearance, damage or missing date information goes to the pharmacist
