Where’s your list of unapproved Internet pharmacies?

There are currently 36,589 "unapproved" pharmacies in our database – Internet pharmacies that we do not consider to be legitimate.

Wow. That’s a lot – and constitute about 96% of those that we think are out there! However, at present, we don’t publicly list these websites. That’s because we don’t want a teenager, for example, to use our list to find a website for getting prescription drugs without a prescription.

However, if you want to confirm the legitimacy of an Internet pharmacy, you can enter it into the Pharmacy Validator on the home page.

Can I report a pharmacy website that seems suspicious?

Yes. We’d be glad to hear from you, and we’ll review the website in question. Please report the pharmacy website on our reporting page.

What are some signs that a pharmacy website is a "rogue" Internet pharmacy?

• "No prescription required". Prescription drugs, by law, require a prescription. If you see the words "no prescription required," that’s a warning sign.
• "Online consultation" or "online questionnaire". An online questionnaire can be helpful if the pharmacy requires it in addition to a prescription written by a physician who has examined you at least once in person. However, websites that employ doctors to write prescriptions based only on an online form, without a physical examination, do not meet LegitScript standards.
• The website isn’t transparent. Can you find the contact information for the dispensing pharmacy? If not, we urge caution.
• Location. The pharmacy appears to be located in Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, and offers to ship prescription drugs into the United States.
