Pregnant from use of fake birth control pills?
Pregnant from use of fake birth control pills? Yes, coupled with sex, without a doubt mishaps of this nature happen often but I believe this poster plastered on the local pharmacy window down the street from where I live boils down to scare tactics.
The poster says: “I buy birth control pills for a long time now from the Internet”
The scarce tactic information goes further to claim: 1.5 million birth control pills only in the United States during 2005 were found not to contain any potent ingredients. And the possible consequences for women you already know. Skeptical?
Major reasoning behind this campaign is: German
pharmacies face competition from online providers challenging laws
meant to ensure that those buying pharmaceuticals get what they pay
for.
Take this source as more evidence: Online pharmacy vs. Goliath
German drug firms try to protect their
medicine monopoly

Well, I have edited my post to clarify my point with the words "coupled with sex".
Oh, you didn't have to do that. "Coupled with sex" was implied. I was just being a smart-ass, as usual.
As for the actual content of the post, it does seem like a despicable scare tactic. It might not be so sneer-worthy if there were numerous documented problems with imported medications, but so far that doesn't seem to have happened.
I wonder how many teenage girls would order these online instead of having the guts to come right out and ask their parents to take them in for a doctor visit to get them prescribed.
I've personally ordered a prescription online and it came in a paper POUCH (no bottle) along with a insert that said they were a generic made in India but they were the "same drug".
That's not to say shady dealers and fake pills are lurking on every corner, but it definately happens. Other than the exception above, however, my online pharmacy experience has been fantastic.
