ABSTRACT
In recent years, the Internet has generally been growing throughout the world, and physicians have taken to the Web as well.

In this regard, the legal frameworks in Germany are strictly regulated. This article presents current legal standards and consequences to be faced when the law on prohibited advertising is broken. Included are references to specific laws concerning Internet pages.
