Check the coupon’s source. Reputable pharmacies or manufacturer websites are your best bet. Avoid coupons from unfamiliar websites or emails. Look for a unique coupon code or ID number – these are usually found on the coupon itself. Use this number to validate the coupon through the manufacturer’s website if available.
Manufacturer Website Verification
Many manufacturers provide a coupon verification tool on their websites. This allows you to input the coupon code to verify its validity and remaining usage period. This is the most reliable way to determine authenticity. If the site indicates the coupon is invalid or expired, don’t use it.
Pharmacist Confirmation
Bring your coupon to your local pharmacy. Pharmacists are trained to identify fake coupons and verify expiration dates. They can also tell you if the coupon applies to your prescription. This adds another layer of verification.
Coupon Appearance
Inspect the coupon for any signs of tampering or alterations. Legitimate coupons are usually professionally printed and free of errors. A faded or unusually altered coupon is cause for concern. Look for a clear expiration date printed directly on the coupon.
