Basically, this alert comes to us as now a days so many order their med.'s on line and from other countries - According to the article it's not being sold in the US, but could come from an on line source.

Hugs, Teri

I am glad my pharmacy gets it right from the drug manfacturer too. Yep I donot like to buy drugs on line at all.
