Beware of Medical Counterfeits!

Warning in the context of the coronavirus pandemic
 

The pandemic due to the new corona virus entails new risk concerning the individual medicinal products supply.

Criminals might exploit this specific situation and use people’s fears for their advantage. This may lead e.g. to offers of potential falsified medicines and medical products by using unregistered supply channels and unauthorized vendors.

Beware of falsified medicines especially in the Internet!
Purchase your medication exclusively in the legal supply chain and following appropriate advice provided by your doctor or pharmacist and eventually based on a prescription.
