The article includes these tips when buying OTC products [Excerpt]:
- "Avoid purchasing products with labels that are in a language you cannot read.
- Familiarize yourself with examples of scams and learn how to spot medication health fraud. For example, look out for offers that claim the product can “do it all,” or rely heavily on personal testimonials without any credible evidence. You should also avoid any product that offers “miracle cures.”
- Be aware of products that claim to be unproven medication alternatives to FDA-approved drugs or have similar effects to prescription drugs.
- Consider the risks of purchasing medicine online or from other countries. Remember that the presence of fraudulent products is not limited to specific locations or platforms.
- Do not use or purchase OTC medicines that lack the required drug facts label. If you are not able to read the label of any prescription, OTC medicine, or dietary supplement, do not use it.
- Check to make sure the manufacturer’s name, address, and phone number are listed on the label.
- Contact an FDA pharmacist about a product’s legitimacy and ask if the agency has taken action against it. You can email the FDA at druginfo@fda.hss.gov or call 855-543-3784 or 301-796-3400.
- Check the safety of a product by visiting the FDA website and searching for the product name to see if it has been involved in any regulatory action. You may also use the FDA’s health fraud database to search for a product’s name and to check for any violations.
- Ask your local pharmacy for advice about OTC products.
- Talk to your provider about all the products you are taking for your medical conditions."
