Buying Medicine Online

NABP has reviewed numerous Web sites selling prescription medicine and has created two categories to help patients make informed choices:

• Recommended Internet Pharmacies: NABP recommends that patients use sites accredited through the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS®) or Veterinary-Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice SitesCM(Vet-VIPPSCM) program.
  These sites have undergone and successfully completed the rigorous NABP accreditation process, which includes a thorough review of all policies and procedures regarding the practice of pharmacy and dispensing of medicine over the Internet, as well as an on-site inspection of all facilities used by the site to receive, review, and dispense medicine.
