What to check before using a health or wellness company

Health purchases carry more risk than most. A wrong product can affect your body, not just your wallet, and health data is among the most sensitive information you can share. Reviews help you judge service and delivery, but they cannot tell you whether a treatment is right for you. Speak to a qualified clinician for that.

Online pharmacies and prescriptions

A legitimate pharmacy will ask for a valid prescription for prescription-only medicines and will show its registration or licence details. Many countries keep a public register of approved pharmacies. A site that sells prescription drugs with no prescription, or ships them from an unexplained location, is a reason to stop.

Telehealth and online clinics

• Clinician credentials: check that the prescriber is licensed to treat patients where you live.
• Subscriptions: many treatment plans bill monthly and ship automatically. Find out how to pause or cancel.
• Follow-up care: ask how you contact the clinician if you have side effects.
• Privacy: read how your health information is stored and whether any of it is shared for marketing.

Supplements, weight loss and fitness

In many countries supplements are not reviewed before sale in the way medicines are, so health claims on a label or website may not be backed by evidence. Be cautious with products promising fast or dramatic results. For gyms and fitness memberships, read the minimum term, the notice needed to cancel and any annual fees.

Common problems and how to avoid them

• Trial offers that become subscriptions: a "just pay shipping" offer can turn into monthly charges. Read the terms near the checkout button.
• Gym cancellations: some contracts require notice in writing or in person. Keep proof that you cancelled.
• Glasses and contacts: make sure your prescription is current and entered correctly. Check the remake or return policy for lenses.
• Medical devices: look for warranty details and instructions in your language.

Each company page on CandorRated lists the business that appears to run the website, the domain's age and the contact details we located. Use the country and city filters to find services that operate where you live, which matters for prescriptions and clinician licensing.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if an online pharmacy is legitimate?

It should require a prescription for prescription medicines, list a physical address and show registration details you can check with your country's pharmacy regulator.

Can a telehealth service prescribe medication?

Licensed clinicians can prescribe through telehealth in many places, within local rules. Some medicines may still need an in-person visit.

Are supplement reviews reliable?

Reviews can describe taste, delivery and customer service. They are not evidence that a supplement works or is safe for you.
