U.S. warns about fake, dangerous pills being sold in Mexico -
The travel alert posted Friday says Americans should “exercise caution when purchasing medication in Mexico.”
The State Department warned that such pills are often counterfeit and “may contain deadly doses of fentanyl.” A study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles found that 68% of the 40 Mexican pharmacies visited in four northern Mexico cities sold Oxycodone, Xanax or Adderall, and that 27% of those pharmacies were selling fake pills.
“These counterfeit pills represent a serious overdose risk to buyers who think they are getting a known quantity of a weaker drug,” said Chelsea Shover, assistant professor-in-residence of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
