Counterfeit medicine

Counterfeit medicine is medicine that looks like it's real, but it's not. It can look like real medicine, but it's often made in secret, without good ingredients and without being tested to make sure it's safe. It can be made in someone's home or in a factory, and it often doesn't work like it's supposed to. This means you could get sick or it could make an existing medical condition worse. It's important to only buy medicine from trusted sources so you can be sure you're getting the real thing and not counterfeit medicine.
