The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a stark warning about counterfeit drugs sold illegally through online pharmacies, alerting the public to the potential risk of overdose.
The warning follows last week's U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of illegal online pharmacies selling counterfeit prescription pills laced with fentanyl and methamphetamine to tens of thousands of people in the U.S., leading to at least nine deaths.
