How do counterfeits relate to current bioterrorism issues?
A. Although counterfeit drugs and bioterrorism may potentially be related, FDA has no reason to believe that counterfeit drugs are being manufactured or introduced for any reason other than making a profit. The FDA is not currently aware of activity where use of counterfeit drugs is connected with terrorism. However, FDA is working with appropriate agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that if any such threat appears, it will be immediately identified and addressed.
