Shopping for medication online has proven to be a difficult task for consumers until now as the distinction between reliable sources of legitimate pharmaceutical drugs and rogue sellers has not been an obvious one.
Consumers, not aware of ordering their medication from a rogue seller have, until now, been putting their health at severe risk.
How will .PHARMACY make a difference?
The launch of the top-level domain .pharmacy on 15 January 2015 will help change the face of online prescription drug shopping as consumers will now have a safe channel to purchase their medication. Customers will now be able to purchase their prescription drugs without running the risk of receiving inferior medication.
When the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) reviewed the 10, 000 different online medical stores they found that at least 97% of these did not comply with the United States medical laws and practice standards and sold dangerous, counterfeit drugs to unsuspecting consumers.
What are the benefits of .PHARMACY?
With a .PHARMACY domain name you will:
- be able to separate your online pharmacy, product or service from all the counterfeit online merchants.
- become part of a community that will contribute to protecting consumers from buying illegal and harmful drugs.
- build an online brand for your company
By legitimizing your brand with the .PHARMACY domain name, your customers will know that your products are safe to purchase and that your business complies with the NABP.
