The pharmacy sector never had it so good. With the ever-expanding
reach of Internet, the business in the virtual world is all set to break all
existing records. The trend of online pharmacy is catching up fast and is also
in conflict with law in some countries.
The Internet pharmacies have their own reasons to catch the
eye of consumers. The easy availability of drugs, prescription available on
the click of the mouse, assurance of quality by the suppliers and above all
often cheap prices of drugs. Such factors are enough to tempt any rational person
to opt for Internet pharmacy than 'brick-and-mortar' pharmacy.
It's the price factor that the
Online Pharmacy
score over the traditional pharmacies. These pharmacies generally operate from
a PC, i.e., they don't have to invest huge sums of money to build a registered
office. And often they purchase drugs in bulk thus saving a fortune in costs.
Lower costs mean lower prices of drugs. These pharmacies offer shipping and
delivery facilities at the doorsteps - thus adding to their charm.
A major suspect in the operations of online pharmacies is the
maintenance of high quality standards of the drugs. Some of these pharmacies
have in the past indulged in corrupt practices of supplying fake and counterfeit
drugs thus endangering the lives of millions of gullible patients. Certain Central
American and European pharmacies have been caught in indulging in such scrupulous
activities.
Resultantly, the US FDA has banned the operations of online
pharmacies from the American soil. Criminal action is recommended against any
online pharmacy caught executing its business agenda in the US. The FDA also
looks down upon the practice of online prescription offered by these pharmacies.
It contends that the best method of diagnosing a disease is through physical
check-up by a qualified general physician.
