National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Unveils Domain [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy recently launched the .pharmacy generic Top-Level Domain. In a release, the association noted the first registration phase for .pharmacy domain names will begin in November. "Because rogue drug sellers continue to proliferate on the Internet, distributing dangerous counterfeit and substandard medications to consumers, the launch of the .pharmacy program is a significant step in protecting the public health, both in the US and other countries," said NABP President Joseph Adams. "NABP is pleased to begin offering .pharmacy registration so that consumers can easily determine if the site they are using is an appropriately licensed, legitimate pharmacy operating in compliance with program and applicable regulatory standards." Among the coalition behind the .pharmacy initiative are the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies, Eli Lilly and Company, European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines, FIP, Food and Drug Administration, Gilead Sciences, Inc, INTERPOL, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc, LegitScript, Merck & Co, Inc, National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities, Pfizer, and state boards of pharmacy.
