Some pharmaceuticals sold in Mexico without a prescription might be counterfeit and contain deadly doses of fentanyl, U.S. officials say.
Counterfeit medication may not only prove to be ineffective but can also be laced with “dangerous ingredients,” such as fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Such pills are sold as OxyContin, Percocet, Xanax, Adderall and others.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles visited 40 pharmacies in four cities in Northern Mexico.
