Lipitor

The article that I read today was about an older husband and wife who both took Lipitor. They received a message on the news saying if they got their drugs from certain pharmacies that they had to go exchange their drugs for new ones and his was one of the pharmacies mentioned. He had no idea what was wrong with the drugs the people working there said they didn't know and he just got new pills. Later he went on the FDA website and found out that the drugs that were in that bottle were something unknown. These Lipitor recalls started in 2003 and there have been over 18 million pills retruned and were fake. According to the real Lipitor company as many as 600,000 Americans may have taken the fake "Lipitor" and literally anything could be in them. There is a so called safety net that has existed and worked for years, impenitrable to any small time fake pill mover. However this clearly is a much bigger opperation. The holes in this safety net are due to people who are too preoccupied by price and are outsourcing and getting drugs from other countries. That is not to say there aren't fake drugs in U.S. there are a ton but it is much easier to sell them in other countries becuase of our drug policies.
