Where state boards and NABP sit next to BeSafeRx
Each state board of pharmacy keeps license status. NABP links those boards and runs a Buy Safely check on websites. Use them to match the legal name and address to the site header.
A mismatch between the website and the board listing is a stop, not a coupon race. This page will not invent a street price.
What should be visible before you upload ID
Pharmacy name, US phone, street address, and a way to reach a pharmacist should appear before payment. Hiding those until after a card number is a bad tag.
How you obtain a lawful first script is the order scan. This URL only vets the shop.
Which four signs BeSafeRx wants before you pay
Prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Physical address and phone in the United States. License in the state where the pharmacy operates and, if different, where you live. A licensed pharmacist who can answer questions.
A quiz that unlocks a carton of 850 mg without a clinician is already a fail on the first sign. Stop there.
Where this check stops
Board-check: four signs, locator, state board name match. Then stop. The 850 panel is education, not a pharmacy.
Sephira does not fill bottles. Yuki Tanaka will not bless a no-script cart because the tablet photograph looks right.
Why 850 mg does not get a BeSafeRx exception
Glucophage 850 mg remains a prescription tablet. BeSafeRx does not turn it into an aisle product. The OTC answer is already filed.
Talk to the clinician about any metformin bought online. Counterfeit and unlicensed supply are why the campaign exists.
Medicine approved for US use was reviewed for quality by FDA. A look-alike carton from an unlicensed site may not be that review.
What the BeSafeRx locator is for
FDA publishes a locate-a-state-licensed-online-pharmacy tool. You pick a state and check the pharmacy. If it is not listed, do not use that shop.
A listing still needs the other signs. A name in a database plus a no-script cart is not a pass.
