CHINA'S State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has blacklisted 46 Websites for selling fake herbal medicine.

Consumers were warned against buying drugs from organizations including the Foreign-related Cooperation Center of Chinese Medicine Research Institute (www.gaoxueya666.com) and the Chinese Medicine Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases (www.gxz117.com).

Drugs sold on those sites claimed to be able to cure high blood pressure, skin diseases, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.

The names of all 46 blacklisted Websites have been published on the administration's Website at www.satcm.gov.cn.

The sites have been reported to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for further investigation and could be shut down.

Since last year, the administration had found and exposed 365 Websites selling counterfeit traditional Chinese medicine, most of which had been closed by the authorities.

A list of the 11 Websites in China licensed to sell over-the-counter drugs online is available at www.sfda.gov.cn.
