Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Health Science, grade: keine, , language: English, abstract: As pharmacist in an own community pharmacy in Germany since thirty years I could observe the change in our scenery over some decades, but since the last ten years, e-commerce and politics have accelerated this process definitively. The pharmacies not only in my home country are regulated and controlled more than all the other members in retail sector by rules of work and laws. They have scarcely any possibilities of creativity or to difference from another. The structures are unmodified since decades, but from 2004 new laws and orders introduce a total change in health service, especially in the pharmacies. The foundations stagger if we have to agree all terms of politics. Nobody knows today the development of our trade branch and my profession, but fundamental changes and tendencies are apparent. Last but not least the trade with drugs in internet and the Doc Morris mail order pharmacies make waves in an old trade guild, many fear the end of the pharmaceutical profession. Trade with drugs in internet is momentary still 2%, but the young generation has no fear of falsification and prefers to sell or buy from home, because it is comfortable, anonymous and supposed cheaper. My studies shall point up the reasons of change made by politics, but also by a new understanding of social structures and business. I will try to analyse the consequences as a result of these mentioned reasons and will take a look in the systems of other countries.
