Consult your doctor before purchasing Viagra or any medication. A doctor can assess your health, determine if Viagra is appropriate, and prescribe the correct dosage.
Authorized Pharmacies
Purchase Viagra only from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Verify their legitimacy through the College of Pharmacists of your province. Check for a physical address and contact information. Be wary of online pharmacies lacking this information.
- Look for the pharmacy’s registration number with the appropriate regulatory body. Confirm they’re licensed to dispense prescription drugs. Read online reviews from verified customers (be cautious of fake reviews).
Prescription Requirements
You’ll need a valid prescription from a Canadian doctor to legally buy Viagra. Online pharmacies often facilitate this process through telehealth consultations, but ensure the physician is licensed in Canada.
Identifying Counterfeit Viagra
Check the packaging for inconsistencies: blurry text, misspellings, or unusual coloring. Examine the pills: legitimate Viagra pills have specific markings and consistent shapes and sizes. Contact Health Canada or your provincial regulatory body if you suspect counterfeit medication.
Protecting Your Privacy
Choose pharmacies with strong privacy policies. Look for SSL encryption (the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar) to ensure secure online transactions.
Cost Considerations
Prices can vary between pharmacies. Compare prices from several reputable sources, but remember the lowest price isn’t always the best indicator of safety and legitimacy.
Post-Purchase Actions
After receiving your medication, ensure the packaging is intact and the pills match the description on your prescription. Report any issues immediately to the pharmacy and Health Canada.
