Lucrative Drugs: The counterfeit drug business is booming:
The FDA currently has 22 counterfeit drug investigations under way, according to McClellan. That has increased fourfold from the late 1990s, when the agency averaged only five such investigations a year. It is scheduled to address drug wholesalers, manufacturers and other industry officials Wednesday in an effort to raise awareness of counterfeit drugs.
Watch out for those internet and mail-order drug deals. Although, apparently retail pharmacies have fallen victim to unscrupulous wholesalers, too. posted by Sydney on
