Beware of counterfeit meds
Question: I take medicine to control my cholesterol levels. I was happy with the results until lately, when my cholesterol levels have gone back up. What could be the problem?
Answer: First, make sure that you haven't changed your diet, decreased your exercise, or gained weight. If none of those have occurred, it might be the medicine you are taking. Have the tablets changed in appearance? Did you find another supplier, such as buying your medications over the Internet or in Mexico? It is possible you have obtained a counterfeit product.
