Heads up, folks! A recent police sweep has brought something alarming to light in downtown Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana – counterfeit medicines lurking in pharmacies aimed at tourists. Sparked by an exposé from the L.A. Times, the crackdown revealed some pretty scary stuff, including meds laced with fentanyl.
During this massive operation, the police checked out 100 spots, shuttering nearly 40 pharmacies, with some facing permanent closure. It’s a stark reminder of the importance of being vigilant when purchasing medications while on vacation.
So, here’s the deal: Always read the labels carefully and stick to medications from well-known pharmaceutical companies. Your health isn’t something to gamble with, especially not on holiday. Consider this your friendly warning to stay safe and informed. Let’s keep our vacations worry-free by making smart, safe choices.
