FDA Public Service Messages
Online Sales of Prescription Drugs




Welcome to the Food and Drug Administration's Web page of public service
web messages about online sales of prescription drugs. Use of the Internet to buy
medical products is growing rapidly. Many consumers can benefit from the
convenience and privacy of this new option. Unfortunately, both consumers and
legitimate businesses are now being threatened by fraudulent or disreputable
Internet pharmacies that sell products illegally. FDA is working to combat these
illegal sites and to educate consumers on how to safely and
legally buy medical products on-line.

You can help this effort by using these public service messages on your Website.
Each message should be linked to FDA's
Buying Medicines and Medical Products Online Website.
