Red flags in online ED and hair loss programs, checked

Every program, the same checks

Highest score first. A LegitScript seal ID is one LegitScript issues and serves; a logo hosted on the program's own site proves nothing on its own, and we have not confirmed any certification on LegitScript's own checker. Each name links to its review, where every fact has its source.

Each record, in its own words

Quoted from our reviews with the source. A letter about one product line says nothing on its own about another, so read what each one concerned.

The warning signs, explained

• No prescription required

  Sildenafil, tadalafil and finasteride are prescription drugs. A site that sells them without one is the first warning sign on the FDA's BeSafeRx list.

• No named US pharmacy

  A licensed program says which state-licensed pharmacy fills your order. No US address and phone number is a warning sign on the FDA's own list.

• Compounded sold as generic

  A chew or mint is not generic Viagra. Compounded products are not FDA-approved, whatever the page implies.

• Counterfeit risk

  The FDA keeps finding fake ED pills and sildenafil hidden in 'natural' enhancement products. Prices that seem too good to be true are on its list too.

• A LegitScript logo with no seal ID

  A real seal is served by LegitScript and tied to the domain. An image on the program's own site proves nothing on its own.

• A plan you pay for in full

  Many headline prices are 3, 6 or 12 month plans paid upfront, and some keep billing if you cancel early. Check the month-to-month price.
