Pharmaceuticals: online pharmacies: year end report-2002

Claire Kammer. Issue Brief Health Policy Track Serv. .

Abstract

During the late 1990s, the Internet became a popular place to purchase merchandise, and states faced a new challenge in dealing with a type of business that is not the traditional "brick and mortar." As online pharmacies became part of the spectrum of stores on the Internet, states grappled with how to ensure the safety of their residents while balancing the convenience and potential cost saving from using the Internet to purchase prescription drugs.
