In recent years, a new threat to opioid users
has emerged with the circulation of counterfeit pain pills, particularly,
fake Percocet (oxycodone). In this article, we’ll take a look at the phenomenon
of counterfeit pain pills, How To Spot Fake rp

a loved one is battling opioid addiction.
Why Fake Pills Are Made
Opioids were relatively easy to obtain in
Florida in the 2000s. This resulted in widespread opioid
addiction and created a demand for these medications nationwide.
A few of the popular prescriptions containing
opioids include:

As prescription drug monitoring programs and
crackdowns on pill mills were enforced, a void in the drug market was created,
opening the door for illicit prescription pill production. Drug traffickers
have been able to produce fake Percocets, fake Xanax, and a host of other
fake prescriptions that look exactly like their legal counterparts, except with
artificial and often fatal ingredients.
What Is in Fake Percocet
& Why Are They So Dangerous?
In recent years, numerous fake prescription pills have been seized in the World. These fake pills are dangerous because they are laced with powerful, cheap alternatives to legitimate medication, and are incredibly difficult to tell apart.
Heroin and fentanyl are typical
ingredients often found in fake “Percs” (a popular drug slang term), with
fentanyl being a notoriously powerful synthetic opioid that is commonly
associated with overdose. These ingredients are inexpensive for drug
traffickers to obtain, are easy to press into a pill, and deliver a powerful
high to the user.
Unfortunately, as with any illegally produced
medication, counterfeit oxycodone is not regulated and has inconsistent dosing.

Given the precision with which these fake
pills are made, most users have no idea they are receiving counterfeit pills.
Often, they also have a false sense of security that they are taking a legally
manufactured, controlled substance. Unfortunately, this is not always the case,
and there are no boundaries to where the fake substances can reach. They are
being found from the homeless population to college campuses alike.
