In the 2000s, many people have come to treat the Internet as a first, or at least a great source of information and communication. [4] the health boards is now the second most popular subject, after pornography, people are looking for on the Internet. [5] with the advent of broadband and video conferencing, many people have turned to physicians online to receive on-line consultation and purchase prescription drugs. The use of this technology has many advantages for both the doctor and the patient, including cost savings, convenience, accessibility and improving privacy and communication. [6]
In the United States, a study of 2006 revealed that searching for information on the prescription or over-the-counter drugs was the fifth most popular search topic, and a study of 2004 revealed that 4% of Americans had purchased prescription drugs online. [7] A 2009 survey conducted by health on the net Foundation Geneva-based [8] found one on ten Europeans buys drugs from Web sites and a third application to use the online consultation. [9] in Germany, about seven million people buy matching pharmacies and mail account sales for about 8-10% of total pharmaceutical sales. [10] in 2008, the royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain reported that close to two million people in Britain regularly buy pharmaceuticals online (both with a prescription from doctors online) registered in the United Kingdom and without prescriptions from other sites. [11] a recent survey commissioned by Pfizer, medicines and products Healthcare Regulatory Agency, RPSGB, the patients Association and HEART UK has found that 15% of British adults asked had purchased a drug only prescription online. [12]
In developed countries, many doctors prescribe online so-called "lifestyle drugs", [13] as for weight loss, hair loss or erectile dysfunction. The RPSGB has identified the most popular prescribed products online that Prozac (antidepressant), Viagra (erectile dysfunction), Valium (a tranquilizer), Ritalin (a psychostimulant), Serostim (a synthetic growth hormone) and Provigil (a psychostimulant). [14] also, a study in the United States showed that antibiotics are generally available online without prescription. [15]
