[QUOTE="ticker7, post: 337330, member: 42109"] After a quick early hours search on Google for Counterfeit medications, Counterfeit Insulin, Counterfeit NovoRapid, and Counterfeit Lantus: Search Highlights: My initial impression is that drug counterfeiting is a real problem and is being tackled by the EU, UK government's MHRA, and the USA FDA amongst others. A warning from the EU and MHRA was issued for counterfeit NovoRapid Needles in 2009 as they did not meet the quality standards. Insulin counterfeiting is a problem, how widespread isn't clear. A Chinese company is identified as producing counterfeit NovaRapid Pens. You might think that the money is in NovaRapid substitute, so once they have produced counterfeit pens the counterfeit Insulin must follow into the market. Lantus seems much more accessible than NovaRapid as an internet purchase, and thus Lantus may be more susceptible to counterfeiting. My advice is if you live in the UK to contact the the UK's MHRA (who have 40+ people and seem equipped with an Investigation branch) and see if they can get the insulin analysed for you. [/QUOTE]
