"Regulators and drug industry executives are pulling their hair out trying to stem a rising tide of fake or low-quality medicines being sold online." LOL!!!! All they have to do is LEGALIZE imports (we are for free trade, aren't we?) so they can set standards and rules for it.... Just like the State of Illinois has done with it's official program. The State sends it's health inspectors overseas and inspects and certifies the pharmacies and distributors who are then granted licensees to sell to Illinois Web site for distribution. Thus far, a variety of BIG pharmaceutical distributors and manufacturers in Canada, Great Britain, Ireland and Germany have been approved to supply for the Illinois program. The State inspectors inspect each distributor and manufacturer several times a year, and have NEVER had a problem with faux or unsafe drugs. (These facilities are already inspected and licensed by the health authorities in their own countries, of course... so now they are getting dually inspected.) Hell, the vast majority of the manufacturing sites that provide for the program are the exact same sites that produce for the US domestic market ANYWAY.
