Check the packaging meticulously. Genuine Viagra packaging will be crisp, clear, and free of spelling or grammatical errors. Look for a consistent font and color scheme. Discrepancies suggest a counterfeit product.
Examine the Pill Itself
Canadian generic Viagra pills should have a specific imprint code. Compare this code to images of authentic pills found on reputable pharmacy websites. Pay close attention to the pill’s shape, size, and color. Any inconsistencies warrant suspicion.
Verify the Pharmacy
Only purchase from licensed Canadian pharmacies with verifiable contact information and a physical address. Check reviews from other customers; many will detail their experiences and whether they received authentic medication. Beware of suspiciously low prices – they often indicate counterfeit drugs.
Scrutinize the Website
A legitimate Canadian pharmacy website will use secure HTTPS protocol (look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar). It should have a clear privacy policy and terms of service. A lack of transparency is a red flag. Examine the site’s “About Us” section for details about its licensing and registration.
Confirm Your Order Details
After placing an order, receive a tracking number and confirmation email. Track your shipment to ensure it arrives as scheduled. Be wary of pharmacies that don’t offer clear tracking information.
Contact the Pharmacy Directly
Don’t hesitate to contact the pharmacy with questions. A reputable pharmacy will readily answer your queries regarding licensing, sourcing, and shipping details. Unresponsive or evasive behavior should raise concerns.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you suspect you’ve received counterfeit Viagra, report it to Health Canada and relevant authorities. Protecting your health is paramount.
