<<I'm amazed that Pfizer would stoop that low.>> I don't think that Pfizer knows exactly where or how its drugs are sold once they ship out to the distributor. I am sure they do not condone this sort of irresponsible prescribing because they will still get sued if a patient is inappropriately given one of their drugs regardless of the channel through which the patient received the drug.

Dear Hank: Well, I have mixed emotions. On the one hand agree that prescription strenght drugs ought to be prescribed (although you can buy many over the counter in most other nations) on the other hand done properly I think everyone would agree the internet with its huge potential volume offers the opportunity to vastly decrease the cost of drugs. While you are young doesnt seem like a big deal but when you age you will find drugs cost more than food or living costs for MANY people. Lots are going without over cost and I dont mean POOR people. The middle class even has trouble affording them. So whatever is finally done I hope its in a responsible manner. JDN
