As laws are being drafted to regulate the sale of alternative medicine, consumers are being warned against buying drugs off the Internet for personal use.

"We are trying to encourage people to stop buying drugs off the Internet because you are not seeing what you are buying. In many instances these are counterfeit drugs and you don't know whether these medicines would in fact help you," an official at the Food and Drugs Administration said.

The official said a team of professionals has been hand-picked to scrutinise every drug which enters the Trinidad market. "Every individual who operates a herbal shop or any other alternative medicine, has to be registered."
