Viagra will soon no longer be on the Internet?

Berlin-Viagra and other prescription drugs to be under the will of the North-Rhine Westphalia Social Minister Karl-Heinz Laumann (CDU) will no longer be traded online. “We want to ensure that no more prescription drugs over the Internet can be,” said Benedict Wolbeck, spokesman for the Health Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Tagesspiegel. More and more drugs were faked. A similar initiative by the Federal Council of North Rhine-Westphalia was in the pipeline, said the spokesman. When the draft to be tabled, but is not yet in sight, the votes were still ongoing in the country.

“That would make us vulnerable,” said Ralf Däinghaus, chief of the pill consignor Doc Morris. The best-known transit Pharmacy Germany, which is based in Holland has achieved according Däinghaus’ about 80 percent of its sales from prescription drugs. However, it expects a corresponding bill in the Bundesrat neither request nor in the parliament to form a majority would find appropriate. Support for the proposal so far only in Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg.

In Germany, the proportion of counterfeit medicines thanks to strict regulation under one percent. Illegal pills appear not only on the Internet. “We have the impression that counterfeiting will increase, not only for Viagra, and not only on the Internet,” said Andreas Penk, German-chief of Viagra manufacturer Pfizer, the Tagesspiegel. In England, the authorities had two years ago fake tablets of Pfizer-Cholesterinsenkers Sortis in the normal retail chain.

The main opponents of the Pill insurance Sands is not the manufacturer, but the pharmacist who fear sales losses and the online competition with lawsuits over. Even the Federal Court decides whether the transit trade of Doc Morris in Germany is admissible. The Berlin Chamber Court had prohibited it 2004 yet, now, the legal situation changed, however.
