The US. Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a public warning regarding the rise of illegal online pharmacies, which are selling counterfeit medications laced with dangerous substances like fentanyl and methamphetamine. Many consumers mistakenly believe they are purchasing legitimate drugs such as Oxycodone, Adderall, or Xanax. These fraudulent operations pose serious health risks, with the potential for fatal overdoses due to the potency of the substances involved.
The DEA urges the public to exercise caution when buying medications online, advising consumers to stick to licensed pharmacies to avoid the dangers posed by counterfeit drugs. This warning is part of the DEA’s ongoing efforts to address the opioid epidemic and protect the public from deceptive and hazardous products available online.
