4 Criteria that Herbal Medicine Distributor Must Have
As part of the community, you must be observant in choosing a store or distributor. Less observant in studying the store can cause financial and health losses. To make the selection easier, here are some criteria.
1. Has an Official Permit and the Product is Certified by BPOM
Health is a very expensive thing. Therefore, in Indonesia, there must be standardization if there are health products that the public wants to distribute. One of them is through BPOM to ensure it is safe for consumption and does not cause side effects. Indonesian society is still identical to traditional beliefs so sometimes past knowledge is directly applied without any scientific evidence. This is also what makes many people claim that medicine can cure certain diseases. Having an official license to distribute medicines and having a BPOM certificate can prevent these speculations. In addition, consumers can be more relieved and know the specific properties so that they can be wise in consuming herbal medicines.
2. Clear Address, Physical or Online
When surfing the internet with the keyword “herbal medicine”, there are lots of shop recommendations that sell them. Each store will claim that it is trusted and has a certificate from BPOM. The way to check if the store is really trusted is to check the clarity of the address. First, start by checking whether you are using a free or paid domain. Avoid buying products from free domains because they tend to be unprofessional. Second, check the physical address and make sure it is clear and complete. You can also check it directly using google maps if you are near the road. While not accurate, this method can confirm whether the address actually exists.
3. The Price Offered is Not Suspicious
Price can also be an indicator of whether a distributor of herbal medicines can be trusted or not. Sometimes there are brands of herbal medicines that are well known and widely circulated in the market so that the price is quite stable. However, if there is an offer far below that, it is suspect. It could also check whether similar medicines have similar prices or from other stores selling at the same price. A significant difference could be a sign that something is up from the distributor. Too cheap is suspicious, too expensive is also questionable.
4. Does Not Offer medicine for All Kinds of Diseases
