New study find that 85% of on-line prescription drugs are filled without a prescription. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University in New York, said that most filled were for controlled substances like, Xanax, Benzodiazepines and Valium. They studied 365 internet pharmacies and found this shocking discovery.
It was reported that it was very difficult to know the exact numbers and sales that are made without a prescription.
Some people claim that the internet is a candy store teens and college kids looking for a quick fix and even a way to make money. They found just 2 of the site were certified by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacies.
THey are asking MIcrosoft corps, Google, Yahoo and other search engines to block ads supporting the illegal sites. They are also negociating treaties with foreign countries to block the sale of drugs.
