Software giant Microsoft
has announced it will equip its
search website bing.com with new
warnings about the dangers of
visiting unsafe online pharmacies.
The warning will automatically
appear if a user clicks onto search
results for a site that the Food and
Drug Administration has flagged as
a fake online pharmacy engaged
in illegal activity, such as offering
unapproved or misbranded drugs

sites for which we are providing
warnings will grow and evolve,”
Microsoft said, with continued
efforts to help users make “more
well-informed decisions as
additional, highly reliable sources
of information become available”.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 10 Aug 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 10 Aug 15
