It has recently come to our attention that there are a number of eBay and Amazon sellers attempting to sell various hemorrhoid treatments online and using the word “Venapro” to describe them. Venapro is a well-known and effective treatment for use by people suffering from hemorrhoids and it’s for this reason that a number of fraudulent or dishonest sellers are trying to associate their own product with the Venapro brand.
To ensure that you don’t accidently purchase a sub-standard and potentially unsafe hemorrhoid treatment, please follow these four simple rules and you should be fine (and hemorrhoid-free in no time at all)
Rule 1: Do not be tempted to buy Venapro (or Avatrol) from any of the online auction sites such as eBay, eBid, BidSpotter, etc. If you absolutely have to use Amazon, then please make sure that it is actually Amazon themselves who are shipping the product straight from their own warehouse and not a third-party Amazon Marketplace seller. If you’re not sure how to check this, there are numerous guides on the Internet. Instructions on where to buy real Venapro can be found at http://www.avatrol.us/venapro/where-to-buy/ and the page even has a guide on how to stop fake Venapro and Avatrol sellers on eBay and Amazon.
Rule 2: Do not buy Venapro based solely on price. The old adage is that if something seems too good to be true then it almost certainly is and this is the case when buying hemorrhoid treatment such as Venapro and Avatrol over the Internet. Venapro is not an expensive product but as it’s so well-made, there is obviously some cost involved. If you find someone asking for $20 for example, then the product is obviously not right (maybe it’s fake, maybe it’s past its expiry date or maybe it’s a grey-market import of some kind.)
Rule 3: There are not many physical stores that sell Venapro or Avatrol. If you visit your nearby pharmacist or chemist (such as Walgreens, CVS, and Boots) and you find that they don’t stock Venapro, they’ll likely try to sell you an alternative (such as preparation H). Rule number 3 is not to fall for the old bait and switch routine. If you visited the store specifically to purchase Venapro or Avatrol then there’s no point in leaving with a lesser product. Politely decline the store assistant’s offer and move on to the next store (or just head home and place an online order for Venapro or Avatrol from the official sources. Next day shipping is an option if you’re absolutely desperate for the product and don’t mind splashing the cash).
Rule 4: Don’t import. Yes, you heard that correctly. It’s not just a case of supporting your national economy (although that’s a nice thing to do) but there could be serious consequences of buying Venapro from foreign websites or physical stores. Again, you can’t be absolutely certain that the product you’re receiving is genuine (and if there’s any issue with it, it makes returning the product much more difficult than if it was bought at home) and even if you get lucky and receive a genuine in-date box of Venapro (or Avatrol if that’s your hemorrhoid treatment preference) you will almost certain come under scrutiny by Customs. If the seller doesn’t declare that it’s a medical treatment they’re shipping to you, you could get in trouble and if they do declare what it is (and it’s correct value) then you’re liable to pay import duty and sales tax.
We know that suffering with hemorrhoids is unpleasant and we understand that you want to try the best treatments as quickly as possible but it’s important that you get a genuine and safe product. If you just follow the four golden rules of buying Venapro then you should be hemorrhoid-free and relaxed in the knowledge that you’ve not been scammed by a shady retailer.
