Canada to ban bulk sales of drugs to US

Via Reuters.

Canada will shortly announce a ban on bulk sales of drugs to the United States as a way of reining in Internet pharmacies that sell cheap medicine to Americans, the Winnipeg Free Press said on Monday.

The paper quoted federal sources as saying Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh would also unveil a monitoring system to track the volume of drugs being shipped out of Canada to ensure that domestic supplies do not run out.

The proposals would not stop individuals from using Internet pharmacies, but they would block plans by some U.S. states for bulk purchases of medicines from Canada.
