remind

online pharmacies open to strict examination and approval by the Drug Administration

our beginning in 2005 approved drugs can be sold on the Internet, currently only 12 pharmacies obtain management qualifications. The pharmacy websites must prominently labeled a "drug transaction services Internet Certificate" number. And only non-prescription drugs to consumers, the site with online inquiries, online consultation (licensed pharmacists on-line real-time consultation), generating orders, contracts and other electronic trading capabilities.

the 12 legitimate online pharmacies: Pharmacy Network, Shanghai, pharmacy network, Golden Elephant Pharmacy Online Shopping Mall Great, Morio pharmacies, 100 foreign health pharmacy, Yunnan Baiyao Group, lead drug network, Weyerhaeuser chain network Hunan Chinese people chain, Chongqing with health pharmacy, medicine retail networks, electronic commerce network Panlong clouds.

online pharmacy since 2005 has only 12 approved applications, the State Food and Drug Administration's cautious approach to this can be seen, which is based on regulation of consumers in the Internet is difficult, and sale of counterfeit drugs hidden. As a business license to sell drugs is not easy to apply online. Because the drugs, after all, is a special commodity, its storage conditions and high requirements, applicants must meet the relevant requirements of the standard warehouse for the job but also a professional pharmacist to check on drugs. This would be similar to Taobao shop this store excluded.

In addition, the reporter learned that the 12 legitimate pharmacy, operating conditions are not satisfactory, the average consumer has not cultivated the habit of in-line medicines. Instead, a number of websites selling counterfeit business is booming. They were styled using the psychological, often up to several hundred dollars of the price will cost only a few dollars of counterfeit drugs sold to patients only sell a drug to get high profits.

Internet crackdown alone Drug Administration the power of a sector is relatively weak, but also telecommunications and other sectors of cooperation can be effective, or even if exposed, the site is still open, still selling fake drugs on the consumer harm is ongoing.
