The U.S. State Department on Friday issued a travel warning related to counterfeit pills that often contain fentanyl being sold at pharmacies in Mexico.
The U.S. State Department on Friday said that Americans should “exercise caution” when buying medication in Mexico, according to The Associated Press.
Small pharmacies in tourist areas and border regions sometimes sell medications advertised as OxyContin, Percocet, Xanax and others without a prescription. A study led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles found that 68% of the 40 Mexican pharmacies visited in four northern Mexico cities sold Oxycodone, Xanax or Adderall, and that 27% of those pharmacies were selling fake pills.
“These counterfeit pills represent a serious overdose risk to buyers who think they are getting a known quantity of a weaker drug,” said Chelsea Shover, assistant professor-in-residence of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
