Online pills hard to swallo

WINNIPEG -- Deficiencies found in a recent inspection of eight Canadian Internet pharmacies will have little impact overall on the cross-border trade, says the head of the Canadian International Pharmacists Association. David MacKay said some of the flags raised by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy were a result of different standards, while others were of a minor nature.

"I am disappointed with some of our members, and these things will be corrected," MacKay said, adding he doesn't believe the findings will scare Americans away from buying prescription drugs in Canada.

Opponents of international trade in prescription drugs have seized on the study, saying it supports their contention that Internet pharmacies are unsafe and unethical.

Internet pharmacists in Canada have made millions selling cheap drugs to the U.S.

That has angered drug firms -- who have seen their profits reduced -- and also drawn fire from regulators in the U.S., where the Bush administration has been under pressure from the drug lobby to close the border.
