China's State Food and Drug Administration has published a bulletin in which it exposes 30 websites that were allegedly selling fake medicines.
The 30 websites are reported to be 533npx.net, bjtfw.com/index.asp, npx996.com, www.bysz120.com, jstfw.com, ylb008.com, gjgbw.com.cn, tongfeng120.net.cn, qlxkf999.com, gxy886.com, ylbkfzx.com, gaoxueya120.net.cn, sm68.com.cn, pfb999.cn, zaoxie1.cn/index.html, gxy9991.com, qjy120.cn/index.html, ddzzl.com, xxa988.com, 999qlx.cn, gxy991.cn, oktnb120.com/ebkf120/medical.asp, pfb369.cn, zsyy666.com, ttsm010.com, sdykd120.com, qh9999.com, xingbing123.net.cn, tongfengling.com and pjszl.com/ypjs.asp.
SFDA found out during its routine inspections that these websites were involved in releasing false information and selling fake medicines using the names of other units. SFDA said these websites were penalized in 2009 but they continued their illegal business by changing domain names or altering their IP address.
SFDA reminds consumers to choose officially registered hospitals or drug stores to buy medicines and only take medicines under the instruction of physicians.
