2. Online pharmacy sales are open and transparent, coupled with a perfect trading system and management environment, which makes businesses strictly self-disciplined and is conducive to reducing the sales of counterfeit and inferior drugs.
3. With the reform of China's medical system, the gradual implementation of drug classification management system, licensed pharmacist system and medical insurance system is objectively conducive to promoting medical e-commerce.
4. Many websites and drug dealers provide customers with medical and pharmaceutical knowledge of self-diagnosis and self-treatment, as well as detailed drug information and retrieval tools. The concentration of information not only facilitates the comparison and choice of consumers, but also makes the price of drugs relatively cheap because of the reduction of circulation links.
Selling drugs online can break administrative boundaries and spread information and objects to all parts of the world, especially showing the magic of traditional Chinese medicine online, which is helpful to strengthen the world's recognition of traditional Chinese medicine and realize the purpose of serving the people of the world.
Disadvantages:
1, online drug sales completely isolate all parties involved in drug sales. This hidden and direct way can easily be used by criminals to operate without a license, manufacture counterfeit and inferior drugs or commit other fraudulent acts. As a result, not only the profits and reputations of legitimate websites and drug dealers are damaged, but also the life safety and health of consumers are threatened.
2. From the current technology, network technology lacks monitoring and its function is not perfect. Even in western developed countries, online drug sales are subject to various restrictions, and some countries even remind patients not to trust drugs sold online.
3. China's drug classification management system has just started, and it is impossible to effectively manage prescriptions online, and it is difficult to identify the authenticity of prescriptions. In addition, consumers can't get direct medication guidance from doctors and pharmacists online, so consumers who buy drugs from illegal websites or legal websites may encounter improper prescriptions, or there may be the risk of cross-influence between the drugs they buy.
