Counterfeiters Not Interested In Health of Children

“Counterfeiters do not take the patient’s age, weight, or development into consideration when selling fake or sub-standard forms. Moreover, they are not interested in whether the child is taking other medications or if the combination of them will result in an adverse reaction.”

A new report released by PSM today takes note of the disregard counterfeiters have for the safety of those they peddle their products to: “Counterfeiters do not take the patient’s age, weight, or development into consideration when selling fake or sub-standard forms. Moreover, they are not interested in whether the child is taking other medications or if the combination of them will result in an adverse reaction. Nor are these sellers concerned that the products sold to treat children for important diseases aren’t effective. They simply do not care that what they are selling is known to harm, not heal, because making money – not real medicines – is their business. Thus, the health risks to children from counterfeit, fake or adulterated products include potentially greater health risks than the same medicine taken by an adult.”
