Health Care: The Benefits of Choosing an Online Pharmacy

You rightly said that it is convenient to order prescription drugs home but that does come with a price. The thing is when you order prescriptions online, you have to upload or share your prescription and a photo id with the online pharmacy. If the online pharmacy is not careful, there is a risk of your personal information being shared all over the internet. USA and Canada have a program in place to ensure that all accredited online pharmacies follow the strict guidelines to ensure customer safety.

According to a report by Zion market research, global erectile dysfunction drugs market was valued at approximately USD 4.82 billion in 2017 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 7.10 billion by end of 2024, growing at a CAGR of around 5.70% between 2018 and 2024. Online pharmacies sell a lot of ED drugs and it comes as no surprise why more and more people prefer buying prescriptions online as opposed to visit their local pharmacy.

How do you find out if an online pharmacy is legitimate (only valid for Canada and USA)?

In America The Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS) program has been accrediting websites offering pharmacy services since 1999. So every online pharmacy site in the USA has to carry the VIPPS seal. In case you want to read more about VIPPS (ask me for the link)

In Canada – Canadian International Pharmacy Association is the largest program in Canada that approves online pharmacies. All online pharmacy websites carrying the CIPA seal are safe to shop on. Read more about CIPA here – (ask me for the link)

Just to be clear, I have no affiliation to either Zion market research, VIPPS or CIPA. I am an independent Digital Marketer and I have a few large clients (operating in USA and Canada) in the healthcare domain for a few years now so I have had to learn all of this and keep myself updated.
