As the saying goes, the web is like a double-edged sword.
With the continuous development of the internet, our way of life has changed dramatically.
Shopping online can not only buy clothes, bags, daily necessities, and even some medicines for medical treatment, but also without having to go out at all.
One of the most appealing aspects of online shopping is that the products are much cheaper than in physical stores.
However, many netizens said that in terms of efficacy, there is a clear difference between drugs purchased online and drugs purchased offline.
Could it be that the online drugs mentioned by netizens are all fake? Why is it so cheap? Isn't it really a fake drug?
Online drug shopping has sprung up and become a new force.
With the popularity of online platforms, various e-commerce platforms have sprung up and entered people's field of vision.
Many people like to look for their favorite products on major online shopping platforms, and online medicine shopping seems to have become a topic of conversation.
The abundant inventory on various platforms, such as ibuprofen and Lotus Qingwen capsules, have become hot topics.
In the case that people cannot easily go out, it is especially important that online medicine is the only way for them to buy medicine.
According to the latest survey data, the number of people buying drugs on online platforms after 2020 has increased by about 16% compared with before.
The main reason for pharmacies is that they have a complete range of products, and they also have a comparative advantage in **.
In the case of repeated comparisons by netizens, it is obvious that **of** is usually only one-third or even half of the physical store.
This situation has led many people to wonder why medicines** sold online are so cheap.
This ** business model is actually closely related to it.
The first thing to consider is the different operating costs.
In order to attract more consumers, offline pharmacies generally choose the largest number of locations and hire staff who know how to know drugs. Know this.
The combined cost of shop rent and labor costs will be slightly higher.
There is no additional cost to operate online, as long as the store is operating normally, without too much human resources, one person can complete multiple tasks.
Secondly, the fierce competition online is also a problem.
Many stores sell the same medicines, and they will take various preferential measures to attract customers, such as full discounts, rebates, new coupons, etc.
Typically, ** will choose to ship directly from the manufacturer, and most of them adopt a strategy of small profits and quick turnover.
Brick-and-mortar stores often appeal only to local residents, while they can reach consumers across the country.
Compared to brick-and-mortar stores, the footfall is much higher. Therefore, under the pursuit of the marketing strategy of small profits and quick turnover, ** has also been relatively depressed.
This is the reason why the ** of online pharmacies is much lower than that of physical stores.
A group of netizens were puzzled by the difference in **, and they wondered if the drugs sold online were all fakes because ** was too cheap.
Netizens are hotly discussing the difference between online and offline products**.
In this apprehensive situation, many people started sharing their experiences on social platforms.
I bought a box of non-butatha online for $26 and $45 in a physical store, both of which are the same product.
Some netizens immediately expressed their widespread approval of this remark.
Many people have had the same experience, and this is not an isolated case.
For four years, I have been buying blood pressure medication online because the ** in the pharmacy is too high. I found that the difference between the sartan blood pressure medicine I bought at the pharmacy and the same brand I bought online was more than three times different.
The drugs in the physical store are incredibly high, and the medicine that was originally only worth three yuan is only three yuan online, but it costs twelve yuan in the physical store.
This is not uncommon, and many people agree that online medicines are cheaper than physical stores and are essentially the same quality as those in pharmacies.
Good goods are like the saying, you get what you pay for.
Many people have certain doubts about the authenticity of online drug purchases, and they think that such a cheap ** must mean that there are counterfeit drugs.
I bought a box of stomach pain medicine online for 150 yuan, which would cost more than 300 if I bought it at a pharmacy. The result is that after buying it, it has no effect at all, and it is cheated.
Licorice tablets purchased online cost 8 yuan, while at pharmacies they cost 19 yuan. However, although the online ** is lower, the effect of three tablets is not as good as that of the physical store, and this is because the content online is too low.
The situation attracted more people to participate in the discussion, and although many people were skeptical about buying the real thing online, the real experience of netizens also made many people hesitate.
I'm skeptical of the medicine online** because my mom has been buying it for five years.
It costs 70 yuan to buy a box of medicine in the hospital, but it only costs 90 yuan to buy three boxes on Tmall, how much is the difference? I've been eating it for four years now and no one can say it's fake.
These experiences have made many netizens begin to struggle with how to buy medicines.
There is no doubt that buying drugs online is obviously much cheaper than buying drugs in physical stores.
However, we can't deny that there are indeed cases where drugs sold online** are less effective than those sold in physical stores.
Why is this so? Could it be true that what netizens said is that online pharmacies sell fake medicines?
Are medicines fakes when purchased online? How can we identify authenticity?
There has always been a lot of concern about the authenticity of medicines sold in online pharmacies.
In today's prevalent situation of online shopping, just a simple search for keywords, you will find that a large number of low-cost stores have emerged, and all kinds of bizarre ** have also surprised many people.
We also can't confirm how many of these stores are genuine.
Although online pharmacies have been reviewed by the platform and approved by relevant authorities, there are also some merchants who take risks for profit.
How can we distinguish whether the drug we are buying is from a legitimate drug made by a legitimate manufacturer? Actually, this method is very simple.
First of all, when buying medicines, you need to learn to screen stores.
Be sure to learn to check the business qualifications and licenses of the store, especially those with high sales and good reviews.
We can further identify the merchant by its business qualifications.
Normally, regular pharmacies are approved by the drug regulatory authorities and sell in strict compliance with drug sales standards.
After buying a drug, it is important to learn to check the relevant parameters.
Perhaps these parameters can help you confirm more quickly whether you are buying a genuine medicine or not.
Of course, if you suspect that the medicine you are buying is counterfeit, you can also go to a nearby pharmacy or hospital for verification.
In fact, there is not much difference between buying drugs online and buying drugs offline.
The most important thing is that we learn how to discern.
Many people seem to prefer to buy medicines online, not just because they are cheaper, but more importantly because they can buy medicines of their own choice without being forced to buy other by-products.
Overall, online shopping has its pros and cons.
Online pharmacies** are comparatively more affordable, while physical stores offer more reliable medicines.
Therefore, when making a purchase decision, it is important to consider your own circumstances, regardless of the location of purchase.
