Drugs Sold Online, No Prescriptions Needed on RxList - 0 views

  • The analysis showed that fewer web sites are selling and promoting controlled substances than last year (361 vs. 581); in the new report, 206 sites were found to advertise drugs and 159 offered drugs for sale. However, only two are "legitimate" pharmacy sites, meaning they have received certification by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy as a Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site (VIPPS). To receive VIPPS accreditation, a pharmacy site must comply with the licensing and inspection requirements of their state and each state that they dispense prescriptions in.
  • Half of the sites that require prescriptions allowed faxed copies, creating a "significant opportunity for fraud." The drugs most frequently offered for sale were drugs such as Xanax and Valium, followed closely by opioid painkillers including hydrocodone (contained in drugs like Vicodin, Lortab), codeine, and oxycodone (contained in drugs such as OxyContin and Percocet). The number of sites offering stimulants for sale increased to levels not seen since 2004.
  • The report showed many sites do not require prescriptions: 85% of online pharmacy anchor sites did not require a prescription to buy controlled drugs. Of that group, 42% specifically said that no prescription was needed. 13% never mentioned a prescription. 45% offered an "online consultation." The study also shows that many sites get their drugs from overseas: Slightly less than a fourth of online pharmacy anchor sites said the drugs would ship from a U.S. pharmacy. 40% said they'd come from outside the U.S. 36% didn't say where the drug would be shipped from.

  • In April, the U.S. Senate passed a bill controlling Internet trafficking of controlled prescription drugs. The bill calls for federal certification of online pharmacies and prohibits the delivery, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances online without a prescription issued by a practitioner who has conducted at least one in-person medical evaluation. The bill awaits House approval.

  • The act — which will help regulate rogue online pharmacies where many kids purchase pills for illicit use — should soon be signed into law by President Bush.

  • drugs have been easily available to kids surfing the Internet.
  • Case in point: In February 2001, Ryan Haight, an A student and star tennis player from Laguna Beach, CA, died of an accidental overdose of Vicodin, Valium, and a trace of morphine. A doctor prescribed these drugs over the Internet, and a pharmacist filled them online. The 18-year-old had never met either one face-to-face.

  • “I have had letters and calls from many, many readers whose opinions back up this report and reveal a lack of interest and even a huge distrust of the web, and there are probably millions of people who are determined never to consider even trying to operate a computer.”

      I think this is very true. My grandmother has never used anything more advanced than a typewriter and she is very skeptical about the internet.
  • So why aren’t older people using the web? According to Professor Bill Dutton, who directs OxIS, trust in the Internet is based largely on experience with this technology. As he said: “Getting elders to experience the Internet, when they distrust it, is the central challenge.”
