India is a growing market for online dispensation of drugs. But, like in any other area, the online pharmacy segment is fraught with a lot of dangers and pitfalls with a plethora of unregulated players ruling the roost.
Today the prevailing practice is to send a scanned Rx by scanning the same and sending to an online pharmacy. The problem with scanned Rx is that it is vulnerable to abuse or self-medication. In such a scenario, scanned Rx cannot be trusted as a secure and genuine means of obtaining drugs.
There are many dangers associated with the use of scanned Rx, the primary one being the likelihood of misinterpretation of handwriting and prescription errors. Another major issue with scanned Rx is that private data and health records are vulnerable to be leaked and used for commercial or other porpoises by online pharmacies.
