Beaware of your medicines

Counterfeit medicines are fake medicines that may be contaminated, contain the wrong or no active ingredient, or be packaged in phony packaging. Medicines that are counterfeit may not help the condition that the medicine was intended to treat, and may lead to dangerous side effects. However you can avoid counterfeit medicine by purchasing only from state-licensed pharmacies that are located in the United States, where FDA and state authorities can assure the quality of drug manufacturing, packaging, distribution and labeling. There are many of thousands of people who buy their medicines from off the internet because they are cheaper; however, try not to buy your medicines from off the internet, because it is a good possibility that it has been counterfeited.
