Online black drugstores are frequently exposed, and medical e-commerce will usher in a "tide of rectification"

The high-speed development of pharmaceutical e-commerce may usher in a tide of consolidation Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration stressed at the conference of "two dozen and two construction" special action that it will focus on cracking down on illegal drug sales on the Internet Online black drugstores have been exposed frequently In recent years, the domestic pharmaceutical e-commerce industry has grown rapidly According to the statistics of China online pharmacy Council, the annual scale of China's pharmaceutical B2C in 2012 has reached 1.665 billion, three times higher than that in 2011 According to the industry forecast, if the extended businesses such as household medical devices, nutrition and health products and daily necessities are added, the scale of medical e-commerce market will reach trillion yuan, and it is expected to become the mainstream business by 2015, keeping pace with hospitals and chain pharmacies However, in the process of rapid development of medical e-commerce, there are also many problems At present, there are 370000 drugstores and 15000 chain drugstores in China According to the provisions of the State Food and drug administration, online drug sales must have the qualification certificate for Internet drug trading service and the qualification certificate for Internet drug information service These "two certificates" are indispensable Only when enterprises obtain these "two certificates" can they be regarded as legal online pharmacies and have the right to sell drugs online However, the number of domestic enterprises obtaining these two certificates is very small, and many enterprises selling drugs online are actually selling drugs illegally On the search engine, reporters can get tens of millions of relevant information with the keyword of "online Drugstore", among which various online drugstores are even more dazzling However, the information of online drugstores that formally obtain "two certificates" will be scattered by many "false information", and even be blacked by these black drugstores According to incomplete statistics, in recent two years, more than 200 online black pharmacies have been exposed, but this number is only a drop in the ocean for the existing online black pharmacies Even if some black drugstores have been exposed, they will change their domain name to continue to sell This is not only a serious threat to the interests of consumers, but also a pain for pharmaceutical e-commerce Industry insiders said that at present, online drug sales are very irregular, false advertisements are full of medical websites, and the volume of transactions is large, while consumers are often difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is easy to fall into the "trap" Because consumers rarely choose to complain to law enforcement agencies after buying fake drugs, many online drug dealers become "rampant", and the low cost and risk of illegal drugs lead to the "rampant" of online illegal drug dealers Regular medicine e-commerce has been impacted According to the 12th Five Year Plan for national drug safety previously issued by the State Council, at present, there are more and more illegal persons making and selling fake drugs, and more and more fake drugs are sold through the Internet and mail Some fake drugs even enter the regular circulation channels of drugs, so the risk of drug safety is still high "The state has special examination and approval requirements for online pharmacies, which can only be declared if they have the qualification of physical chain pharmacies offline; once the online pharmacies are found to sell fake drugs, the punishment will be extremely severe." Gong Bo, vice president of Kaixin group, said that it is undeniable that there are fake drugs and drugstores in the online shopping market, but this is only a historical reason and a regulatory problem For the pharmaceutical e-commerce industry, it is the right way for enterprises to spend their energy on improving their internal skills, meeting the medical and health needs of consumers, and making market cake together The heads of several regular pharmaceutical e-commerce said that because of the irregular network, it is difficult for consumers to find a regular online drugstore on the Internet, which requires the relevant competent departments to carry out regulatory planning from the perspective of the market, while increasing the efforts to combat "The crime cost of these online drugstores is too low They shoot for a place Although selling drugs online is the development trend of the industry, the practices of these black pharmacies have completely disrupted the market, and the online drug market has been ruined by them The regular medical e-commerce can only burn money and make money "   It is understood that the State Food and drug administration, together with the state Internet Information Office, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of public security, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and other five departments, has carried out research for many times, and has decided to specifically rectify and regulate the regulatory issues of online drug sales in August, in which it will focus on cracking down on the online sale of fake and inferior drugs or the sale of non drugs as fake drugs; it has obtained Internet drug information services All websites that publish false drug information and illegal drug sales shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification, to make rectification within a time limit, or even to revoke the Internet drug trade qualification Reporter Zhao Binghui
