Red-flag cards

What makes an online offer look wrong?

The site promises a quick result. It hides the clinician and asks for payment before naming the pharmacy.

Stop

No prescription

As of September 2026, a seller who sells a prescription drug to a buyer holding no valid prescription breaks federal law.

Stop

A “research only” label sold with supplies for giving a shot

In 2026, FDA letters said a “research use only” label does not shield a seller who also makes health claims and sells the water used to mix an injection.

Slow down

A fixed form with no follow-up

A form alone is not a proper medical check when no one can ask you follow-up questions or learn enough about your health.

A real visit has a licensed clinician who knows your health history and can ask you questions.

Check

The pharmacy stays hidden

FDA guidance lists a United States street address, a phone number, and a licensed pharmacist who can answer questions as signs of a sound online pharmacy.
