Looks like the FDA got off their useless asses and did their job for once.

Counterfeit versions of Adderall, Teva Pharmaceutical’s widely used ADHD drug, are being sold online with the wrong active ingredients.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that fake versions of Adderall — a drug used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, and narcolepsy — are being sold online.
The FDA says that rogue websites, distributors and counterfeiters may be targeting medications that are in short supply. As Healthland noted in January, doctors and drug companies were anticipating “widespread shortages” of ADHD drugs, including Adderall and Ritalin, because of disagreements between federal agencies over how much of the drugs’ active ingredient should be made available to drug makers.

The article blames the predicted increased demand reduced supply:

And so here we are, fake Amphetamines. Oh look, they made an info box with obvious signs of counterfeit merchandise:

1. The product comes in a blister package
2. There are misspellings on the package. For example:

* “Aspartrte” instead of “Aspartate”
* “Singel” instead of “Single”
3. The tablets are white in color, round in shape, and are smooth
4. The tablets have no markings on them
