Internet Drug Outlet Identification Program

The Internet Drug Outlet Identification Program is a program created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.  The purpose of the program is to identify legitimate pharmacy websites.  Internet pharmacies should be evaluated carefully to determine whether they are engaged in the legitimate, safe practice of pharmacy.  A 2016 review of internet pharmacies purporting to be based in Canada found that 74% of them sourced their drugs from outside of Canada.  As of June 30, 2017, NABP has reviewed over 11,000 internet drug outlet websites.  A staggering 96% of these were operating outside of compliance with federal and state laws.  Most of these dispensed drugs without a valid prescription.  

NABP has created an ongoing list of internet pharmacies that it rates as "Recommended" or "Not Recommended."  Additionally, it has created the domain .pharmacy that legitimate internet pharmacies, who have been vetted by the program, can use.
