Victory State Bank Share FBI’s Advice On Avoiding Counterfeit Prescription Drugs
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Fraudsters trick people to handle over money in ways that may not include investment scams.
Counterfeit prescription drugs, for example, can hurt your wallet as well as your health.
In order to help protect you from prescription drug scams, Victory State Bank suggests you follow these tips from the FBI:
- Be mindful of appearance. Closely examine the packaging and lot numbers of prescription drugs and be alert to any changes from one prescription to the next.
- Consult your pharmacist or physician if your prescription drug looks suspicious.
- Alert your pharmacist and physician immediately if your medication causes adverse side effects or if your condition does not improve.
- Use caution when purchasing drugs on the Internet. Do not purchase medications from unlicensed online distributors or those who sell medications without a prescription. Reputable online pharmacies will have a seal of approval called the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site (VIPPS), provided by the Association of Boards of Pharmacy in the United States.
- Be aware that product promotions or cost reductions and other “special deals” may be associated with counterfeit product promotion.
