You play a vital role in educating your friends, family, and colleagues on how to make healthy decisions. This includes raising awareness of the dangers of taking counterfeit medications.
Criminal drug networks are flooding the United States with fake pills containing lethal substances like fentanyl. 2024 DEA laboratory testing indicated that 5 out of 10 pills tested contain a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl. Even small amounts (2mg) of fentanyl, equivalent to a pencil tip, can be deadly.
Drug traffickers use pill presses to create these deadly counterfeit medications. By imprinting markings and logos onto pills, they produce products that look like legitimate prescription medication. The only safe medications are ones prescribed by a trusted medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. Do not trust medications from unknown sources.
