DIMDI - Safety Logo of the German Register of Mail Order Pharmacies

Security logo

The security logo can be found on websites of pharmacies that are included in the German Register of Mail Order Pharmacies.

It does not have any significance in itself. However, in three simple steps, you can reduce the risk of ordering on websites of dubious suppliers.

How do I use the security logo?

1. Click

   Click on the logo: If the pharmacy is included in the register, a DIMDI website opens containing the pharmacy’s register entry.

2. Check

   Check whether the website address (URL) in the adress bar after the https:// or http:// begins with "versandapotheken.dimdi.de/". Only in this case a DIMDI website is involved. Pay particular attention to the forward slash (/) after ".de".

3. Open

   Open the pharmacy’s website through one of the links indicated in the register. Do not use your browser’s back button and do not return to a window that may still be open.

What appears in the register?

In a pharmacy’s register entry, you can find contact data with one or several Internet addresses of the pharmacy if applicable and of the respective competent supervisory authority in addition to the date of the mail order permit.

Please note that the overviews are only accessible in German.
