Integrated task: online pharmacies. #1 (permalink) Fri Aug 13, 2010 12:19 pm   Integrated task: online pharmacies.
 

The reading states that it is advisable to prohibit online pharmacies. The lecturer, however, disagrees and makes several point to cast doubt on the reading.

Firstly, the reading mentions that myriad medical products sold by online pharmacies are considered as unsafe ones. Also, many untested herbal remedies seem to tax buyer's health. On the contrary, The professor points out that ancient Asian people have used herbal remedies for centuries without any hitch.

Additionally, the reading claims that consumers who believe in online pharmacies may have no consultations from doctors, so they can take wrong medicine leading to serious problems. In contrast, the lecturer says consumers can learn sufficient information about medicine on the Internet, which are also written by doctors.

As a final point, to respond to the reading's assertion that drugs sold online, much produced by foreign companies so do not meet American standards, have no clear origins, the professor argues that online pharmacies offer numerous inexpensive drugs to people to buy. Therefore, they do not need to pay extra money to wealthy companies.
