Answer:
Counterfeit drugs are those sold under a product name without proper authorization. Counterfeiting can apply to both brand name and generic products, where the identity of the source is deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled in a way that suggests that it is an authentic approved product. Counterfeit products may include products without the active ingredient, with an insufficient quantity of the active ingredient, with the wrong active ingredient, or with fake packaging.
Taking a counterfeit medication may put you at risk for a number of dangerous health consequences. You may experience unexpected side effects, allergic reactions, or a worsening of your medical condition. Some counterfeits may not contain any active ingredients and instead may contain inert substances, which do not provide any treatment benefit. Counterfeit medications may also contain incorrect ingredients, improper dosages of the correct ingredients, or hazardous ingredients.
