Warning over fake high street medicines
David Rose and Robin Pagnamenta
Thousands of patients taking a life-saving cancer medicine have been warned
that counterfeits have entered the supply chain.
Drug regulators issued the alert yesterday after the discovery of fake
batches of Casodex, a prostate cancer drug, after an alarming surge in
counterfeit medications for critical conditions. The alert is the third in a
week involving blockbuster drugs, which have also included a schizophrenia
drug and a blood-thinning agent.

hard to miss in the media over here. not having had any medication
_for my cancer_ (as opposed to the masses of arth drugs), it doesn't
affect me. but it does rather highlight the increasing
commercialisation of medicine here ...:-(
