Domain Name Information
The domain name for this website has been registered for a long time, and this could indicate they are a reliable source of meds. In our experience, we have found that newer pharmacies are more of a risk of being a scam.
What isn’t as good to find is that they are using a domain privacy service to hide their real registration information. This is something often used by scammers to make sure people cannot find out who they are, but it is frequently used by legit businesses too.
Business Profile
Neither a business name nor an address is given on the site. They only mention being outside of the United States of America but don’t say where in the world they are. Despite calling themselves Trusted Medications, it is difficult for us to place any trust in them.
Regulatory Approval
Since the pharmacy failed to reveal which country they are located in, we do not know what sort of regulation they should be abiding by. Most countries have some sort of regulation in place to make sure patients are safe when ordering meds online.
Since this pharmacy provides no information to indicate they are regulated, this is a concern.
The situation doesn’t improve when we check with LegitScript. They are classified as a rogue online pharmacy, that doesn’t have sufficient regulation to sell their medications in the countries that they do.
Medications Sold
This pharmacy offers a lot of medical supplies to suit many different treatment requirements. They are selling both generic as well as brand name products. Treatment categories include:
- Acne
- Eyecare
- Men’s health pills
- Birth control
The pharmacy does provide some information about the manufacturers of their generic pills. They do give the commercial name of the brand of the generic drug, but nowhere on the site do they mention where the pills are dispensed from.
This means that when placing an order, you don’t know where the pills are going to be sent from. There is some indication that they are manufactured in India, so they might be sent from there though we can’t be sure. They could be dispatched from anywhere in the world, and there is no way for us to check if this is done by individuals and businesses that are properly regulated to do so.
This leads to a greater chance that the medications being sold from this pharmacy are not all they claim to be. If the pills aren’t genuine, you are at risk of adverse complications from taking the meds.
Prescription Requirements
The pharmacy does say that they need you to provide a valid prescription for your order. They provide some information about scanning and emailing your prescription to them. However, we can’t be certain if they really stick to this rule or not.
Payment Options
The store has a valid SSL certificate. You can pay using the following options:
- Paypal
- Bitcoin
- Western Union
Shipping
You aren’t given a delivery choice when ordering pills from this store. Your meds will take up to 4 weeks to arrive at a cost of $35. They use DHL to deliver their products.
TrustedMedications.com Reviews
This pharmacy provides a page with TrustedMedications.com reviews. There are only three customer testimonials on this page, however.
There are a couple of strange things with these testimonials. They were all written on the same day, and one of the testimonials seems to refer to a different pharmacy called ReliableRx.
This makes it seem that these testimonials are fake. Perhaps they’ve taken them from a different pharmacy site, or maybe they’ve changed the name of the pharmacy, it is unclear.
Conclusion
This drugstore is far from perfect, they lack the correct regulation, and they aren’t letting on who or where they are. While they do require a prescription, their testimonials seem fake. We also don’t know where the pills are dispensed from, creating a risk.
Despite this pharmacy has been online for many years, they aren’t the best choice you can make.
Most of their medications are manufactured in India. India is a common source of many US medications. However, it can take up to 6-8 weeks to receive the order.
I believe there is a desire to cause “fear” of sites that are not subject to US scrutiny. I understand that fear. However, during the pandemic, in many states, medications that will actually help Covid have been denied to people for entirely political reasons.
Given this hole in the ability to obtain what you need, people will turn to “international” sources.

That’s true most drugs are source from India. However, people should understand that they take risks ordering from international pharmacy sites.
