Will prescription drug sales over the Internet eventually threaten pharmacists’ business?

Asked at Checkers, 2300 La. on March 07, 2005

“Yeah, insurance companies are dominating that issue. I already have to mail-order my prescription.”

“No, because there will always be a segment of the population that needs personal attention - especially seniors.”

“I guess it could go both ways. People are probably always going to buy from pharmacies as well as the Internet. I don't think it's really that big of a threat.”

“It would be better for me if I ordered over the Internet. It might hurt pharmacists a little bit, but not too much.”
