A frightening story for those who purchase drugs online. A report from AZCentral (in Australia -- requires information disclosure) details the FDA's warning about an internet pharmacy that was selling counterfeit birth control patches.
The fake Ortho Evra patches were being sold by the New Delhi, India company as genuine Johnson & Johnson product.
In fact, the product contained no contraceptive at all and hence was useless at preventing pregnancy.
