“Beware of fake online pharmacies” FDA’s campaign
A national campaign aimed at making Americans more aware of the prevalence of fake online pharmacies has been launched by the FDA.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) warned that fraudulent online pharmacies pose a danger to patient health. The Agency says it aims to help consumers make safe purchases.
American consumers find online pharmacies attractive mainly because many are so cheap compared to retail outlets in the USA. Purchasers can sometimes save from 50% to 80% when buying from foreign websites.
