"Britain's medicines watchdog said on Friday it had discovered a batch of counterfeit Novo Nordisk insulin pen needles circulating in the country and urged diabetics not to use them...Being fit decreases your likelihood of "needing" these unreliable products.
The discovery is the latest example of fake medicines turning up in the supply chain and highlights the lucrative returns for criminals in passing off bogus treatments as genuine.
In recent years the MHRA has also found a number of counterfeit of batches of top-selling drugs, including Pfizer's cholesterol fighter Lipitor and Sanofi-Aventis' blood-thinner Plavix."
