About company
The Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies (CSIP) is a nonprofit organization chartered in 2011 to help Internet industry leaders find a way to address the growing problem of consumer access to illegitimate pharmaceutical products on the Internet. The entities selling these “medicines” typically advertise and present themselves as pharmacies, which inspires consumer trust. The average consumer has no way to know whether the product he or she is purchasing is counterfeit or otherwise unsafe, and is therefore not only vulnerable to the dangers associated with these substances, but also often has little recourse. Over a dozen of the world’s leading Internet and e-commerce companies decided to come together to form CSIP to focus on the promotion and encouragement of safe online pharmacies through education and enforcement and the provision of a neutral forum for sharing information by and among private sector entities.
