FDA and Johnson and Johnson Warn Public About Counterfeit
Contraceiptive Patches Sold Through Foreign Internet Site
FDA and Johnson and Johnson Co. of Raritan, NJ are warning the
public about an overseas internet site selling counterfeit contraceptive patches that contain no active
ingredients. These counterfeit patches provide no protection against pregnancy. This internet site's
domain name, www.rxpharmacy.ws apparently is operated by American Style Products of New Delhi,
India. The site also sells other products that purport to be versions of FDA-approved drugs. FDA is
investigating these other products as well, and urges consumers to treat any drugs purchased from this
firm as being suspect. None of these products should be considered safe or effective. Consumers who
have any of these products should not use them, but instead contact their healthcare providers
immediately.
