Q. How can I check that a UK online pharmacy is genuine?

A legitimate online pharmacy will clearly display its postal address on its website, along with details of the owner of the business or, if a company owns the pharmacy, details of the company's Superintendent Pharmacist.

Members of the public can check whether these individuals are registered in the UK by visiting the ‘Registers’ section at www.rpsgb.org.uk. This allows you to check if an individual pharmacist is registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, the profession’s governing body.
