Hainan Food and Drug Administration Department reminded that when purchasing drugs online, we should first verify the legitimacy of the website and see whether there is the qualification certificate for Internet drug trading service issued by the State Food and Drug Administration on the prominent position of the home page of the website. If not, we can't trade with it. Secondly, we should treat drug advertisements rationally. We should not take drugs blindly without medical advice. We should not buy prescription drugs online. Once you buy or find problematic food and drugs, you should not admit bad luck. You should call 12331 in time to report. Once verified, the food and drug administration department will also reward the informant.
