Researchers Find Fewer 'Rogue Pharmacies' Online

A study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) finds that the number of websites that advertise or sell prescription drugs dropped from 581 to 365 in the past year.
"'This decline in the number of Web sites advertising or selling controlled prescription drugs may reflect efforts of federal and state agencies and financial institutions to crack down on Internet drug trafficking...' said Joseph A. Califano, Jr., CASA's Chairman and President and former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare."
Unfortunately, not all the news was good. CASA also found that few sites require proof of a prescription before consumers purchase controlled medications. Source: PharmaLive
