Internet Enforcement

LegitScript is the only Internet enforcement service focusing exclusively on the Internet pharmacy market. We investigate and monitor online pharmacies using our unique “network” approach, which breaks down a seemingly infinite number of illicit online pharmacies into a manageable number of related groups (or networks). While other companies just look at one website at a time, LegitScript finds the links between thousands of related websites, allowing us to target hundreds of rogue websites simultaneously.

Then what?

It depends. In some cases, LegitScript compiles intelligence-driven, analytical reports to help clients better identify and understand the threat. In other cases, LegitScript engages in takedown initiatives on our own accord to shut down rogue online pharmacy websites that pose public health threats*. To date, we’ve been successful in getting thousands of rogue online pharmacies shut down.

For example, we target:

  • Websites selling prescription drugs without a prescription
  • Websites selling prescription drugs without a valid pharmacy license
  • Websites engaged in the fraudulent sale of prescription drug products, or sale of prescription drugs products that are not approved by the FDA, Health Canada or equivalent agency
  • Websites selling counterfeit or adulterated drugs

Websites engaged in one of the actions above are typically engaged in multiple criminal, civil, and intellectual property rights violations.

*LegitScript determines whether websites pose a public health and safety risk and should be subject to termination based solely upon standards approved by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and not at the direction of any third party.

What LegitScript can do for your company.

  • Pharmacy/prescription drug website monitoring. Our extensive database monitors the entire Internet pharmacy world, including those sites infringing on intellectual property or selling certain products without requiring a prescription.
  • Brand Analysis. Find out which networks of websites are primarily responsible for illicit activity involving your products or imitating your brand.
  • Rapid Alerts. Alert you of newly registered sites abusing your brand within days or even hours. Or, if you are an online pharmacy, prevent imitators from registering a similar domain name and posing as your pharmacy.
  • In-depth reports. Provide you with comprehensive reports detailing networks abusing your brand, complete with actionable intelligence for litigation purposes.
