Licensed online pharmacy Canada: our licence

Every Canadian pharmacy is licensed by a provincial college, and a licensed online pharmacy Canada patients use is held to the same rules as the one on your street. Here is our licence, so you can check us before you trust us, and a short guide to checking any other pharmacy too.

What makes a Canadian online pharmacy trustworthy

An online pharmacy is still a pharmacy. To dispense prescription medication it needs a licence from the pharmacy college of the province where it operates, a pharmacist-in-charge who answers to that college, and a physical dispensary that inspectors can visit. The same college sets the rules on counselling, record-keeping, privacy and how medications are stored and shipped. A website is only the front door.

How to verify any online pharmacy in Canada

The best online pharmacy in Canada is not the loudest one or the cheapest one. It is one you can check. If you searched “verify online pharmacy Canada”, these are the checks that matter, in order:

  1. Licence number and college. Find the pharmacy’s licence number and the college that issued it. If the site doesn’t show them, stop there.
  2. The provincial college register. Look the pharmacy up on that college’s public register and confirm the name, address and status match what the site shows.
  3. A physical Canadian address. A street address for the dispensary, not only a post office box or an email form.
  4. A pharmacist you can reach. A phone number and posted hours when a pharmacist answers questions.
  5. A DIN for every prescription medication, which you can find in Health Canada’s Drug Product Database.
  6. A prescription, always. Walk away from any site that sells prescription medication without one, or sells products “for research use only”.

What about the CIPA seal?

The Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) is a voluntary association of licensed Canadian pharmacies, and its members may display a seal. A genuine seal links to a verification page on the association’s own website, so click it rather than trusting the image. The seal is a useful extra, but it is not a licence: the provincial college register is the check that counts, and it applies to every pharmacy, member or not.
