Article Abstract:

The North Carolina companies helped patients get their prescription and medical records to Canadian pharmacies, which would fill the prescriptions and then mail the drugs directly to the patients. The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy filed a lawsuit against five companies in October 2003, as it is illegal for companies not licensed with the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy to use in their name, sign, letter or advertisement that imply the person, firm or corporation is licensed or registered to practice pharmacy in state.
