The coroner's concerns
1. unrestricted online purchase of prescription medication
“The evidence in this case demonstrated how easy it is for individuals to obtain large amounts of medication (including those normally deemed to be 'prescription only' drugs) over the internet. Whilst this problem has already been recognised by the pharmaceutical profession and _ its regulatory body, it is unclear what action has been/is being taken in order to address the situation.”
