简体中文 and drugs etc.

So, the Canadian cheap drug guy (Andrew Strempler), who sells affordable medication to internet Americans and so on, was arrested. So many words floating around with it: generic, counterfeit, affordable, RxNorth, CanadaDrugs.com, Pharmacheck, Mediplan Pharmacy.

There are other companies named in the subpoena, and other drugs besides Teva Pharmaceutical's Adderall XR (ADHD) that university students like so much, e.g., cancer drugs, Avastin and Altuzan, or Ritalin. This was weird. A chemical simply ... popped inside a refrigerator.

The FDA first warned in February that a counterfeit supply of the widely-used Avastin had turned up in the U.S. The Wall Street Journal has traced that supply through a network of firms in Canada, Barbados, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Egypt and Turkey.
