What doctors can do to protect their patients from counterfeit medications
Physicians are in a unique position to both prevent counterfeit medication use and diagnose the telltale signs of counterfeit drugs in their patients.
With risks to patients coming from direct-retail channels, such as fake online pharmacies, and also from medical clinic suppliers, all medical professionals need to be on their guard to insure their patients receive only certifiably authentic U.S. FDA approved medication.
Promote safety within your practice by distributing the L.E.A.D.E.R.'s Guide to physicians.
