Over the years, a growing number of Internet pharmacies have been set up globally. One of the pharmaceutical industry's fastest growing segments is so-called Internet pharmacy, which allow people to buy essential medicines at lower prices from foreign countries. Internet pharmacies are similar to public pharmacies that serve consumers online. The basic difference is the way by which the medications are requested and received. Some customers consider this to be more favorable and private method rather than going to a local drug store. Now a day, physicians do advice patients to buy medicine from Internet pharmacies.
Prescription drugs are very costly in the United States than anywhere else in the world. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation that doesn't impose price controls to keep prescription drug costs down. U.S. drug companies have opposed against limiting drug prices. Drug manufacturers debated that restricting costs would reduce the companies' ability to pay for the costly research that creates new medications.
