技术的快速增长改变了公众购买许多产品的方式,包括药物。在线购买药物已成为患者无需离开家园即可获得医疗保健的便捷且保密的途径。网上药店有很多好处,但也增加了从非法网上药店无意购买造成患者伤害的风险。非法网上药店是指那些在没有必要的有效许可证的情况下在网上经营或供应未经食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的药物的药店。由于获得某些药物已受到限制,无论是由于政策还是药物短缺,越来越多的患者依赖互联网药房提供的服务。Roe与Wade的推翻导致了新兴的药物限制,这可能会迫使公众转向互联网药店购买药物。进行了叙述性审查,以分析非法网上药店出售的药物的过去和现在的影响,以帮助认识到限制获得FDA批准的药物的影响。搜索了几个大型科学和健康文献数据库,以找到相关参考文献。产生的资源,其中提到了限制获得FDA批准的药物与非法在线销售增加之间的联系,包括在这次审查中。本文评估的信息将有助于告知医疗保健提供者和政策制定者限制获得FDA批准的药物的无意影响。
The rapid growth of technology has transformed the way the public purchases many products, including medications. Online medication purchasing has become a convenient and confidential route for patients to access healthcare without leaving their homes. Online pharmacies have many benefits but also present an increased risk for patient harm caused by unintentionally purchasing from illegal online pharmacies. Illegal online pharmacies are those that operate online without the requisite valid licenses or supply drugs not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As obtaining certain medications has become restricted, either due to policy or drug shortages, more patients are relying on services provided by Internet pharmacies. The overturning of Roe versus Wade has caused an emerging drug restriction that may coerce the public to turn to Internet pharmacies for purchasing medications. A narrative review was conducted to analyze both the past and present effects of medications sold by illegal online pharmacies to help recognize the implications of restricting access to FDA-approved medications. Several large science and health literature databases were searched to find relevant references. Resulting resources, which referenced the connection between restricting access to FDA-approved medications and the increase in illegal online sales, were included in this review. The information evaluated in this article will help inform healthcare providers and policymakers of the inadvertent effects of restricting access to FDA-approved medications.
A Narrative Review of Illegal Online Pharmacies and Contemporary Issues with Restricting FDA-Approved Medication Access.
UNASSIGNED: Illegal online pharmacies target vulnerable patient populations such as patients affected by drug shortages or patients who require restricted access medications.Increased production of substandard or falsified medications is rampant during drug shortages or restricted access use and can lead to patient harm.The overturning of Roe versus Wade in the United States may illicit a response from the public to acquire their medications through illegal online pharmacies which may be providing substandard or falsified medications.
UNASSIGNED: A narrative review was conducted to understand the implications of restricting access to FDA-approved medications. Previous instances of drug shortages and restricted access use medications were analyzed to understand the effects the overturning of Roe versus Wade may have on patient harm.
UNASSIGNED: Illegal online pharmacies continue to threaten patient harm by supplying substandard or falsified medications to patients.Patient harm from substandard and falsified medications has been observed through previous abortion bans.
UNASSIGNED: Purchasing abortive medications from illegal online pharmacies is correlated with an increase in the number of serious or fatal events.This phenomenon can continue to impact the healthcare system as legal implications surrounding abortion develop.Education and advocacy to safe and effective abortive medications are key in ensuring patient safety in reproductive care.
