Regulating E-Pharmacy Sales in India

Main Article Content

Abstract

Frequent adverts in periodicals and digital platforms encourage readers to acquire medications online by submitting doctor's prescriptions. Although this definitely reduces time and effort, most consumers of these online pharmacies are likely to be concerned about the authenticity, shelf life, and origin of the drugs that are being given. Currently, these internet-based pharmacies or e-pharmacy platforms function as an online marketplace or as an inventory model in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the e-commerce regulations. This paper tries to analyse the present laws regulating e-pharmacies in India and the negatives of e-pharmacy in India.
