pharmacies that are springing up on the Internet

March 1999

Some patients will get their prescriptions filled by the pharmacies that are springing up on the Internet...Drugstore.com...Soma.com...DrugEmporium.com...PlanetRx.com, etc.

These sites allow people to order Rx drugs and OTCs online...and have them delivered by mail or UPS. The pharmacy verifies the Rx with the prescriber's office.

These online pharmacies are different from sites that allow people to get Viagra and other Rx drugs WITHOUT seeing a physician. Some of these sites have physicians who authorize Rxs based on a simple questionnaire that people fill out online.
