What roles does FDA play in Internet drug sales?
• The FDA approves all new drugs that are sold to people. FDA and FTC (Federal Trade Commission) make sure that what companies say about their products is true and legal. • FDA can take action against any sites that: • make a false claim. • sell prescription drugs without a prescription. • FDA works with the NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) and the FSMB (Federation of State Medical Boards). These groups all work together to make sure companies follow U.S. and state laws.
