NABP Digital Pharmacy Accreditation

We maintain the gold standard for online pharmacy operations through NABP's rigorous accreditation program.

What is NABP Digital Pharmacy Accreditation?

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Digital Pharmacy Accreditation (formerly known as VIPPS) is the most prestigious certification available to online pharmacies. Since 1999, this program has been the benchmark for identifying legitimate, safe online pharmacy operations.

                            Rigorous Standards: Only pharmacies meeting the highest operational and safety standards receive accreditation
Consumer Protection: Protects patients from illegal online pharmacies selling counterfeit or dangerous medications
Regulatory Recognition: Required or recognized by over 20 state boards of pharmacy
Industry Trust: Enables participation in paid advertising on Google, Bing, and Yahoo! search engines
