WHY IS .PHARMACY IMPORTANT?
Today, the vast majority of websites selling prescription drugs online are doing so illegally – many of them sell unapproved, substandard, and counterfeit medicine.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®), the official registry of the .pharmacy domain, has found that 96% of the nearly 11,500 internet drug outlets it has reviewed are out of compliance with United States pharmacy laws and practice standards.
Of the websites NABP has identified as Not Recommended, 88% appear to have affiliations with networks of rogue internet outlets and 89% do not require a valid prescription!
