Buying Prilosec online safely

Online purchase of Prilosec (Omeprazole) is now common in many markets. Done through a properly licensed pharmacy, it is safe and convenient. Done through unverified sources, it carries real risks of counterfeit medication, exposed personal data, and absence of pharmacist oversight on the 10mg, 20mg, 40mg dosing.

How to verify an online pharmacy

A legitimate online pharmacy displays a pharmacy licence valid in the buyer's jurisdiction, requires a valid prescription where one is legally needed, has a registered physical address and a contactable pharmacist. Most jurisdictions also publish online registers of approved pharmacies that buyers can search before placing an order for Prilosec.

Avoiding counterfeit Prilosec

Counterfeit Prilosec is a real problem in some online channels. Genuine Omeprazole packs match the manufacturer's description, carry intact tamper-evident features and arrive with a printed package leaflet. Suspicious price (much lower than the legitimate range), absent prescription requirement and overseas shipping from unverified addresses are red flags.
