FDA Authority
The types of unlawful conduct that can occur when drugs are sold over the Internet are similar to unlawful activities that occur in other contexts. Under the FD&C Act, FDA has the legal authority to take action against:
* The sale, distribution or importation of an adulterated or misbranded drug;
* The sale, distribution or importation of an unapproved new drug;
* The sale or dispensing of a prescription drug without a valid prescription; and
* Counterfeit drugs.
