CANADA TO ANNOUNCE INTERNET PHARMACY CURBS SOON

June 27, 2005

Canada will soon announce measures to clamp down on Internet pharmacies that send cheap medicine to the United States, often without Canadian doctors seeing the patients, Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh said on Thursday. Dosanjh, who says the practice is immoral, has for months been studying a number of options on how to restrict a trade worth around C$850 million ($690 million) a year. Canada, unlike the United States, sets limits on how much pharmaceutical firms can charge for their drugs.
