UK finds further fake packs of Pfizer drug Lipitor
LONDON, July 19 (Reuters) – British authorities have found more counterfeit packs of Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) blockbuster cholesterol pill Lipitor in the legitimate supply chain, highlighting the risk posed by fake drugs, officials said on Wednesday.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first seized fake packs of the medicine in July 2005 but Mick Deats, the agency's head of enforcement and intelligence, said more packs from the same batch had now appeared.
