SafeMedicines.org Tracks International Counterfeit Drug News

If you are interested in tracking incidents involving counterfeit drugs, SafeMedicines.org covers international counterfeit drug developments.  For example, the site provides links to a Washington Post article covering China's attempts to strengthen safety controls, along with discussion of China's recent discovery of 18,000 fake Viagra pills and Health Canada's new anti-counterfeiting strategy launched in response, at least in part, to the death of a woman who took counterfeit anxiety drugs purchased online and the deaths of four Ontario residents who took counterfeit heart drugs.
