Health care providers and consumers need to be aware of how they could be exposed to counterfeit medicines. Watch out for possible signs of a counterfeit drug:
- Does the drug or packaging look different than what you normally receive?
- Have you experienced a new or unusual side effect after using the drug?
- Did you buy the drug from an online pharmacy?
Consumers, health care providers and supply chain stakeholders should only buy from state-licensed pharmacies to ensure you are getting safe, effective and high-quality drugs that have been approved by FDA.
