Fake H1N1 Flu Drugs Surface - Health News Story - KPHO Phoenix:
"NEW YORK -- A New York congressman has issued a warning about con artists selling fake flu drugs online.
Democrat Anthony Weiner says people may be so worried about the H1N1 flu outbreak and what officials say is a temporary vaccine shortage, that they'll take a risk buying drugs online without thinking about it.
He said his office easily found sites selling fake flu drugs. Weiner says FDA investigators saw some that turned out to be acetominophen, the active ingredient in the over-the-counter pain killer Tylenol.
Weiner said buyers need to be sure an online site is legitimate and requires a prescription."
