BAN SALES OF ONLINE MEDICINES ACROSS THE COUNTRY: DELHI HIGH COURT

The Delhi High Court ordered a ban on the sale of online medicines by e-pharmacists across the country and directed the Central and Delhi governments to implement the order immediately. The court passed the order while acting on a PIL filed by Delhi-based dermatologist Zaheer Ahmed. In his petition, he had complained that lakhs of medicines are selling on the internet without much regulation, posing a huge risk to patients and doctors alike. He also pointed out that online sale of medicines is not permitted under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Pharmacy Act, 1948.
