title: [Illegal purchase of psychotropic drugs from the internet].
abstract: Several national institutions are registering a significant increase in sales of prescription and illegal drugs from internet pharmacies. Psychoactive drugs are preferred; the clients are particularly young. Considering the current amount of data available, the extent and relevance to addiction medicine remain unclear. In the following report we present the case of a patient from our outpatient department who has suffered from an opioid dependency for several years and has been using a Spanish internet pharmacy to purchase tramadol without prescription.
