Irish chemists crack down on dodgy drug sites
The PSI, which is the statutory body for pharmacists and pharmacies, said that the task force is intent on finding ways to combat the purchase of prescription drugs online.
The move follows an investigation undertaken by the Irish Examiner in April which revealed just how easy it is to buy medicines such as Viagra and Prozac online. Reporters from the newspaper were able to order and receive 10 popular legal drugs from websites abroad without having visited a doctor or receiving a legal prescription.
