Dangers of Online Drug Sales - Not All It's Cracked Up To Be!

The International Business Times recently published a study by Dr. Mark Baron of the University of Lincoln, UK, who purchased drugs from several online dealer sites.  Baron found that more than often that the legal drugs he was looking for and purchased did not contain the proper prescribed medication and included banned substances, fillers and other dangerous additives. Baron said, "Buyers should be aware of the medicinal products they buy online. There are variations to what websites retail online as they sometimes tend to keep the names same but may change the content of the tablets."
