fake brand painkillers
did you ever get fake brand painkillers and how did you deal with it?
I am asking because i think i did. For once the spelling is entirely wrong. Instead of Johnson & Johnson it is saying Bohnson LoL.
They are working just fine. But it kind of bothers me that they are fake because I like to know the exact amount of ingredients and fakeness brings an element of uncertainty into the lot.
IDK. It just came unto me kind of unexpected. I did not expect this.

Re: fake brand painkillers
Did you buy a whole packet of painkillers, or just a few ? The instructions inside the packet should tell you what you need to know.
Next time, ask for a packet of whatever, then open it up in front of the chemist and read the piece of paper with all the details. It should say if made in India, China, whatever, and there should be dosage instructions in English. If it looks ok, then ask for the number of pills you want, you don't have to buy the whole packet.
If there is no paper or it's all in Chinese, then I'd pass.

Re: fake brand painkillers
i bought a sheet of ten pieces on the plaque. there is nothing wrong with it.
i guess i am wondering if there is any reason for me to be worried at all or if i am overexaggerating.
even if it is not the same brand i do not think it is dishonest, you know.

Re: fake brand painkillers
if it is the same molecule but a different brand you are in the clear.
for example, ciprofloxacin can go by many brand names.
Likewise, diazepam can be called Zepam without any difference at all in the effectiveness.
