too much effort to fake

[Max Expansion]

guys,

i was wondering what the current state of medication faking was. with things like dostinex and arimidex, how good are the fakers getting at faking the packaging and inserts, and foil and everything.

basically, im extremely paranoid, and unless i literally pick it up at the pharmacy, i have my doubts about it.

but i have a source of medications and AI's and stuff, and the product is identicle to the real thing (when i compared it to the one in the pharmacy)

it occurs to me, that to go these lenghs over the packaging and instructions (even down to the folding over the paper and the imprints on pills themselves) is impossible and more effort than its worth.

what do you guys think

any comments appreciated.

cheers

i have not been around long enough to comment on the chances of getting fake pills, but i will say this. i once sent a guy to china with 10,000.00 and some old toy train parts. small and involved. it also involved reproducing orig. packaging. there was tears in boxes heavy wear on parts. on day 6 he found an interpritor to escort him to the factories. on day 7 production started on day 9 i had a cargo container on the ship full with 10's of thousands of parts that where so good they where better than the orig. products they looked perfect packaging and all. my point! in some countries they dont give a shit. they can do anything for little money. they cant even get in any trouble. any joe blow can show up with a little bit of money and get whatever they want.

ding ding ding we have a winner. I have a friend over there and he said you can pretty much walk in a factory with any product and say i want 50,000 of these and you have them the next day no questions asked.

few stories i have heard from my father in law(pharmacist)--even small/indepen pharmacies can get taken if there is a glitch (intentional) in the distribution
