Internet Drugs Sales Under US
Federal Scrutiny
As reported on December 28th, 1999 on
MSNBC, the US Federal government is pushing for new unprecedented powers
to “crack down” on web sites dispensing drugs.
The proposed measures include requiring the US Food and Drug
Administration to verify the legitimacy of web site pharmacies.
The concerns are with those sites selling drugs without a valid
prescription, and with those sites selling drugs not legally available in
the United States. The
proposed law changes would require sites to demonstrate compliance with
state and federal laws on pharmaceuticals before being allowed to operate.
