Counterfeit Tamiflu Warning

Scammers never sleep. The H1N1 (swine flu) season has afforded new opportunities. Last week the Food and Drug Administration reported that they were able to purchase fake Tamiflu on the Internet without a prescription.

The source link maps to the Tamiflu website which provides excellent information to help consumers safeguard against counterfeit drugs. The following bullets list just a few of the resources.

  • Check to see whether an online pharmacy is licensed (www.nabp.net)
  • Find pharmacies that carry the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites seal - VIPPS (www.vipps.info)
  • Read pharmacy purchasing guidelines
  • Read instructions for inspecting a TAMIFLU package
The Health and Human Services Secretary recommends only Tamiflu and Relenza to treat the flu. Check the source link to visit the Tamiflu website before purchasing the drug online. Source
