FDA Opinion
The FDA conducted a survey in early 2000, and found out that there are almost 300 or 400 internet sites which are marketing prescription drugs to end users, half of these are domestic, and the other half with locations outside the US. They have taken the position that the end users are at risk if they purchase prescription drugs from virtual pharmacies, which are not licensed within the state pharmacy law. The FDA has also banned the importation of unapproved, adulterated and misbranded drugs from the US, and is unable to monitor the huge volumes of importations into the country on a daily basis. They are unable to take action against these virtual pharmacies, as they are not aware of the physical location of the pharmacies.
