The importance of the Register

The check is a three-part process that you should always carry out when buying medicines online. That way you can be sure that the pharmacy or retailer that you are buying from has been licensed by one of the EU national authorities. The only way to be certain that your medicine is safe is to buy from registered pharmacies or, where the law allows, other registered retailers.

Step by Step to Safety

First of all you need to look for the logo. This logo will appear on the websites of all EU pharmacies/retailers that are registered by their national authority. In order to be registered, a pharmacy or a retailer has to fulfil the conditions set out by the national law of the country it is established in.

Secondly you need to click on the logo to ensure that you're taken to the national authority's website. Check that the pharmacy is listed. Then continue with your purchase.
