The US FDA has kicked off a campaign directed at healthcare practitioners and pharmacies nationwide. Fake medicines are often pushed to healthcare professionals under the guise of “too good to be true” sales. Healthcare professionals should be mindful of where the source their medicines as rouge wholesalers and distributers are often pushing unsafe, unregulated pills.
The FDA states:
In order to protect your patients from unsafe or ineffective drugs, FDA urges health care professionals to verify that their supplier is licensed by the state. Drugs from rogue wholesale drug distributors may harm your patients and expose them to unknown risks or side effects.
