"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."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
