Domain Name Information
Domain name information can sometimes reveal some interesting information about the background of a pharmacy. In this case, we can see that this domain has been registered since 2017. This is longer than many drugstores we see but far from the longest and doesn’t tell us much about whether this pharmacy is a scam or legit.
There aren’t any details about who purchased this domain name in the records. This can often tell us if the pharmacy is legit, but in this case, it just indicates that a Russian registrar and privacy service has been used. Though we can’t know for sure, this makes it more likely that the owner of the website is in Russia.
Business Contact Details
On the pharmacy site, we aren’t given a business name or address, but there seems to be an indication that they are based in India.
Even when checking their About Us page, we don’t find much information about the pharmacy. They do make some claims about being the most trusted pharmacy, and that they have been in business since 2011, though if that was the case, it wasn’t with this website.
The contradiction in the information we have found about this pharmacy could show that the owner is in Russia with the meds dispensed from India, though we can’t be sure.
Regulatory Approval
The pharmacy does display a couple of regulatory seals on their site. One of these says “Protected by DMCA” which could look reassuring. However, all that DMCA protection actually does is stop other websites from copying content from this one.
While it might be easy to assume that a seal like this indicates protection for customers of the store, it really isn’t the case. Often unreliable pharmacies use this kind of seal to make themselves look more trustworthy to customers who don’t really understand what DMCA protection is.
The reality is they have no regulatory approval. Checking with LegitScript confirms this issue.
They consider the pharmacy to be a rogue that doesn’t have the correct regulatory approvals to be in business.
Treatments Offered
This pharmacy specializes in generic medications, and prices are on the lower side. The pharmacy does also tell us the name of the manufacturer and that they are produced in India.
Product categories include:
- Alzheimer’s
- Beauty
- Diabetes
- Infertility therapy
- Men’s health
While we know that the medicines are manufactured in India, the pharmacy does not reveal where they are dispensed. This increases the risk that this pharmacy is actually a scam that is selling medicine not correctly dispensed to customers.
If you order medicines from this pharmacy, there is an increased risk that you will get the incorrect dosage or just the wrong medicines. Since we are not able to tell whether the meds are dispensed correctly by people properly qualified, this will always be a risk.
Also, even though the pharmacy tells us who the manufacturer is, we have no way of confirming this.
Payment and Shipping
The pages on the website are secure, and you can pay using either credit or debit cards and bank transfers.
Shipping from this pharmacy is via EMS or DHL and is going to cost $30. Typical delivery times through this method are 8 to 12 business days.
GenMedicare.com Reviews
The pharmacy has some customer feedback on their site, and the GenMedicare.com reviews look great. This isn’t surprising as the pharmacy may well delete comments that aren’t very positive.
Fortunately, they also collect customer feedback on Trustpilot. The feedback on this independent website isn’t as universally good as it is on their own pages. While most of the comments there are good, there are certainly some customers who have had issues with the service provided.
Conclusion
Looking at what this service provides to customers, we can see that there are some problems. They do not have any accreditation, and we don’t know where they are really located, being two of the larger issues.
However, despite this, most of the customers seem to be happy with the service provided, so we give them 2 stars.
