New Lawsuits for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – Fake Drugs
A recent USA Today article reported that 10% of all drugs (including both prescription and over-the-counter medications) sold globally are counterfeit or may contain diluted versions of the real product or non-active and possibly harmful ingredients. The Internet has contributed to the proliferation of counterfeit drugs as consumers seek to save money by purchasing drugs from discount websites. In some cases drug manufacturers are cutting corners, seeking low-cost (and unsupervised) suppliers to keep costs down. Both practices present a dangerous mix for consumers.
