Now a days many people use to buy medicine online. Almost all types of medicines are available over internet pharmacies. But as the numbers of online customers are increasing number of fake pharmacies and fake drugs are also getting increasing. Putting false active ingredients in fake drugs is just one trend in medicine counterfeiting.The business of selling fake prescription drugs to unsuspecting consumers is burgeoning, and is a global industry. More than 2 million people in Britain regularly buy prescription drugs such as Prozac and Viagra on the internet, in spite of the risk that they could be sold fakes, research revealed .

Viagra-like tablets bought on the Internet aren’t necessarily any cheaper than the real thing, but they do allow buyers to avoid the shame factor often associated with asking for this type of drug. The problem of fake drugs isn’t limited to impotence treatments. According to the study, two pregnant women died after they were given injections of a counterfeit iron preparation for anemia, and 51 children died in Bangladesh of kidney failure after taking paracetamol syrup that was contaminated with diethylene glycol, which is often used as antifreeze in cars. Some legitimate pharmacies run online services, but many of the websites are set up by people with no medical or pharmacy expertise and their products may be fakes.

Alarmingly these include fake drugs that could have devastating consequences, like counterfeit medication for potentially fatal conditions like cancer and high blood pressure. People do need to understand that they must go through all the policies and factors that describe medicines genuine before buying medicines online. Govt. is trying all possible ways to let these people know about demerits of buying fake drugs.

However many people use to buy these fake drugs to save money perhaps they are still not understand that “Health is Real wealth” . People should not compromise with their health to save few bucks.
