Abstract
Drug importation raises several ethical and safety concerns relevant to prescribers and policy makers considering costs and benefits of international medicine importation. This article suggests key points to consider, especially from a policy perspective, when weighing imported medicines' perceived affordability and accessibility against additional resource expenditure needed to assure sufficient regulatory oversight and equitable distribution and to mitigate potential risks of harm to patients.
