Stay safe buying medicines online!

Not all websites selling medicine are registered pharmacies. Buying medicines from unregistered online pharmacies could be dangerous!

⚠️ The medicines may be out of date, fake, or not right for you.

💊 They could cause harmful side effects, react badly with other medicines you’re taking - or even be fatal.

✔️ Talk to your GP first. They know your medical history and can advise you.

✔️ If you do buy online, make sure the pharmacy is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council

Stay safe, stay informed! Find out more - https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/medicines-information/
