FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda WEDNESDAY, May 30 (HealthDay News) — A counterfeit version of
the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder drug Adderall, sold online,
contains the wrong active ingredients, according to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Adderall is also used to treat narcolepsy. The drug, made by Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries, is currently in short supply in the United
States.
The counterfeit versions of Adderall are ineffective and potentially
harmful, the FDA warned Tuesday.
Authentic Adderall contains four active ingredients: dextroamphetamine
saccharate, amphetamine aspartate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, and
amphetamine sulfate. Preliminary laboratory tests by the FDA found that
the counterfeit version being sold as Adderall 30-milligram (mg) tablets
contains tramadol and acetaminophen, ingredients in medicines used to
treat acute pain.
Genuine Adderall 30-mg tablets are round, orange/peach in color, and
have “dp” embossed on one side and “30” on the other side. The tablets are
packaged only in a 100-count bottle with the National Drug Code (NDC)
0555-0768-02, the agency said.
In contrast, the counterfeit tablets are round, white and do not have
any type of letters or numbers, the FDA said. Fake tablets may also come
in blister packages and have spelling mistakes on the packaging, such
as:
- “NDS” instead of “NDC”
- “Aspartrte” instead of “Aspartate”
- “Singel” instead of “Single.”
Consumers who believe they have the counterfeit version of 30-mg
Adderall tablets should not use them and should talk to their health care
professional about their treatment options, the FDA said.
Adderall is currently in short supply because Teva is having difficulty
obtaining all of the active ingredients used in the drug. Consumers need
to be extra cautious when buying medicines online and remember that drugs
in short supply are often targets for counterfeiting, the FDA said.
