ABSTRACT

Dear Reader,

During the turn of the century and early millennium, when the potential of online pharmacies was predicted, there was widespread hue and cry including the regulators.The regulator agencies had cautioned against any proposal for online selling of medicines and had declared such actions, illegal and not compliant to the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. AIOCD and other associations of wholesale and retail chemists had vehemently opposed the proposals. Over the years, online Pharmacies have not only come to stay but have flourished.
