E-drug: Parallel re-importation of drugs into USA (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With all due respect to M.A. Nugent's olfactory sensitivities, aroma
does not constitute a satisfactorily complete quality assessment of
Pen VK or any other pharmaceutical product. Counterfeiting can run
the gamut from totally inert dosage forms, to dosage forms
containing something else, to dosage forms containing outdated or
otherwise substandard drug.
