In response to the RCMP's announcement of its sting operation, Health Canada issued a reminder to Canadians about the risks of purchasing drugs online.

Russian prosecutors have submitted to a court the results of their probe against a Russian pharmaceutical company, Bryntsalov-A, which makes legitimate generics, but was accused of selling counterfeit products, according to Novosti, the Russian news agency, citing the Interior Ministry. “An investigation into charges of illegal commercial activities and the unlicensed use of registered brand names against the company’s general director, Tatyana Bryntsalova, and other top managers has been completed,” the ministry said. The head of the firm, which produces cheaper alternatives for popular foreign brands in Russia, along with three managers, are accused of “setting up a criminal ring” to produce extra batches of medicines simila...

"Diversion" is the practice of diverting legal medicines to be sold via the black market. Shipments are lost, manufacturers overproduce a medicine and then they sold, usually on the internet.The pharmaceutical companies are taking measures to counteract this problem by using RFID tags (radio frequency identification) and other inventory control methods."Instead of selling diverted product to the pharmacies most product is being sold direct on th...

Lo and behold, they were contacted by Gabriel Zhang, 32, who runs Siqi Pharmceuticals, and offered to make fake pills for everything from erectile dysfunction to heart disease and cancer. And he promised perfect reproductions. “We copy every single detail. We could produce $100 bills but we wouldn’t do that because it is illegal,” he boasted. To prove that he could produce the lifesaving drugs he provided the wholesaler with counterfeit Viagra which had been manufactured in his factory. And guess what? The Viagra turned out to contain “overdose” levels of the acti...
