Recently, reports have emerged of Mexican pharmacies selling a medication supposedly marketed as Adderall, but which is actually methamphetamine. This is cause for grave concern, not only in the medical community, but among people who have purchased the product and found out what it really is.
Adderall is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It has been regulated by both the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as it contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, two powerful stimulants that are commonly abused.
Methamphetamines, on the other hand, are a different class of stimulants with a much greater potential for abuse, and one of the main ingredients in Meth. The drug is illegally manufactured in Mexico and can sometimes be disguised as something else and sold in pharmacies.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are warning consumers about this counterfeit medication, which has the potential to cause serious harm. It is important for people to be aware that the medication they are buying in Mexico may not be what it appears to be.
The DEA is also warning consumers in the US that the “Adderall” being sold in Mexico is not regulated by the FDA, and could contain dangerous substances. If a person buys such a product, they should immediately stop taking it and contact the DEA’s Office of Diversion Control at (202) 693-0530.
Given the growing problem of counterfeit medications sold in Mexico, it is important for consumers to take extra precautions when purchasing any medication abroad. Before making a purchase, consumers should ask questions and research the product’s ingredients to ensure its authenticity.
It is also important for retailers to take steps to ensure that any controlled substances they sell come from legitimate sources. Moreover, pharmacists should only dispense medications that are approved by the FDA, as well as report any suspicious activity to the DEA.
In conclusion, the recent reports of Mexican pharmacies selling counterfeit “Adderall” that is actually methamphetamine are serious cause for concern. It is important for those who have purchased the product to stop taking it immediately, and for pharmacies to be more vigilant about the authenticity of the medications they sell.
