China imposes strict regulations for Online Diet Drugs trading

October 10, 2005

The State Food and Drug administration in China gave fresh notice on October 8 to restrict internet based pharmaceutical trading services in China. E- Commerce activities between drug manufacturers, wholesalers or medical institutions will be disrupted if Chinese enterprises do not have an SFDA certificate.

This is an initiative to control illegal drug trade that’s on the boom. Online diet drugs and aphrodisiacs are the most popular drugs used and misused. Some sites like EBay China show many rare wild medicinal materials such as sea horses, placentas, spotted deer antlers and deer snails which are banned on the normal medical products market. Many diet pills, male impotence drugs and other medical products are kept for sale at discount prizes.
