Internet Pharmacies to Operate Legally in Manitoba

The Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association is planning to amend its regulations in order to accommodate and regulate Internet pharmacies, following discussions between the regulator and Canada's largest provincial group of on-line pharmacies. The anticipated amendments would implement stricter standards for Internet pharmacies and exempt them from the requirement that a Canadian doctor see a patient before writing a prescription. The discussions followed a threat by the regulator to suspend the license of any pharmacy that co-signed prescriptions as of January 1.
