Protect Yourself From Counterfeit Drugs
Counterfeit drugs are a rampant threat that easily cross boarders and target innocent people. You can learn about this threat by visiting the Pharmaceutical Security Institute. But how can you protect yourself from contaminated or counterfeit drugs finding their way into your medicine cabinet?
This month, the Partnership for Safe Medicines launched a new section of our Web site—Consumer Resources. A new, comprehensive consumer information portal, this online resource can help you learn more about the threats endangering the safety of our prescriptions and how to minimize your risk of getting a counterfeit drug. Additionally, Consumer Resources offers tips for making safe online drug purchases and the warning signs associated with rogue online pharmacies. You can also discover how to save money on prescription drugs and spot the signs of a contaminated or counterfeit drug.
Armed with this information, you can better ensure the safety of your medications you purchase, whether they are from a VIPPS online pharmacy or your neighborhood drug store. To learn more, please visit SafeMedicines.org.
