Counterfeit medicines: the pills that kill - Telegraph

I was actually searching for an article for something completely different and came across this article instead which I thought some of you may want to read. It seems counterfeit medicines are big business for the criminals these days and is on the increase.

According to the WHO, more than 50 per cent of medicines offered by websites that conceal their physical addresses are fakes.

Counterfeit medicines

Thanks for posting this Hippie - esp. with them amount of people buying drugs on line. How in the world can one know whats in the package you receive in the mail. Vino girl has posted in the topamax survey thread where she was on a "mail order" topamax for quite awhile - and then one shipment got "Confiscated" and she had to go to her MD for the Rx. Once she started the Real Topamax - she felt like it was a different drug. So this should be a wake up call.
