The FDA and NIH have identified OTC  pain relievers sold online that contain more than what their label states it does that can be harmful.

This is a compounded product by this pharmacy. It is not from the manufacturer and is the precise type of product the FDA article is speaking about.

The article is not referring to pharmacies filling prescriptions.
The thread went sideways talking about voltarin topical, so I thought id let people know the prescription is much stronger.
The article gave examples of the ORAL pain relievers bought on Amazon that don’t reveal all the ingredients, warning that some specific manufacturers didn’t reveal their supplement contained diclofenac.

I replied to the OP her title was misleading, as it definitely wasn’t referring to what she stated in the article she shared.

The FDA warning is very specific, it even shows a picture of the supplement that's banned. Even the pic looks "sketchy". You did the right thing. Some people are in so much pain, they are willing to try almost anything.
