The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning people about a fake ADHD medication being sold online. The medication, Adderall, is commonly used to treat the condition known to cause excitable and impulsive behavior in children. The counterfeit pills serve as a warning to many parents who use online pharmacies for convenience, but many say the fake pills have raised a larger debate about buying medications online.
The Adderall Warning Signs
The FDA says the fake Adderall pills they have spotted look different than the real pills. Parents should be on the look out for white, round pills with no markings that come in a blister pack. These pills are fake. The real Adderall pills are orange/peach and have a “dp” marked on one side and “30” marked on the other. They come in a bottle.
