What is CIPA?
The Canadian International Pharmacy Association
is a national organization which helps to ensure that its member pharmacies deliver affordable medications both
safely and efficiently to patients worldwide. CIPA develops internal standards and works with governments to safeguard the
consumer’s right to affordable healthcare.
Should I buy from a website that is not CIPA certified?
CIPA certification assures you that the international pharmacy provider is licensed, reputable and has agreed to adhere
to stringent safety protocols. All CIPA members’ Canadian pharmacies are licensed and regulated by their respective
provincial pharmacy regulatory agencies. CIPA and its members require prescriptions, do not sell narcotics or controlled substances
and do not send any unsolicited email (SPAM). For your safety and privacy, we recommend dealing only with sites
displaying the CIPA seal.
How can
I make sure a website is CIPA certified?
CIPA certified websites display the CIPA seal as displayed below.
Since this seal has become so well-known for trustworthiness and integrity,
however, some websites have copied the seal and placed it on their sites. These sites are masquerading as CIPA members but
they are not. Always be sure to cross-check the www.ciparx.ca website to ensure that a website selling medications is truly a
CIPA member. To verify a member, click here
Do you sell medications?
The Canadian International Pharmacy Association is not a pharmacy, or wholesaler. We do not stock, supply or distribute
any pharmaceutical products. Please contact a member pharmacy for information about specific drugs.
