Merchants classified with this MCC sell prescription and proprietary drugs and nonprescription medicines. These Merchants may also sell cosmetics, toiletries, and novelty merchandise. This MCC is high risk: illegal drugs and controlled substances could easily sneak in when a website sells hundreds of drugs. These businesses are particularly scrutnized for chargeback rates, unsubstantiated health claims (against FDA regulation), and undisclosed nutritional facts and drug composition. Additionally, in Canada, businesses that primarily sell cannabis must use this MCC, connecting it with more risky products.

SafetyKit helps enforce complex regulations surrounding these products, including verifying health claims, prescription requirements, and monitoring FDA warning letters to detect new risky drugs.
