PharmacyChecker Verification Program

Standards, Guidelines, and Inspection Information for Pharmacy Accreditation

PharmacyChecker.com was established in 2003 to help consumers find qualified online pharmacies. Eligible pharmacies may apply to the PharmacyChecker Verification Program in which they are verified for licensure and standards of pharmacy practice, and monitored for continued compliance with program standards. Websites authorized to publish the PharmacyChecker Seal market and sell prescription drugs dispensed from licensed pharmacies in good standing in the countries where they are located.

The program is open to pharmacies and online pharmacies, including retail, wholesale, HMO and veterinary pharmacies. Pharmacies in the U.S., Canada, Australia, India, Mauritius, New Zealand, Turkey, or the UK may be eligible to participate in the Verification Program. We suggest that you contact us prior to submitting your application if you are based in a country other than these. Pharmacies in certain countries, including India, Mauritius, and Turkey, are subject to an onsite inspection.

Pharmacy applicants are companies that dispense prescription drugs to patients per prescription. Online pharmacy applicants process prescription drug orders that are referred to pharmacies for dispensing.
