ALERT!
FDA Warns
Consumers About Potential Problems at Two
Baltimore Pharmacies
Expired and suspected counterfeit
prescription drugs found at pharmacies
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is
warning consumers who filled prescriptions
at The Medicine Shoppe pharmacies located
at 8035A Liberty Road and 5900
Reisterstown Road in Baltimore that they
may have received drugs that were either
expired or suspected counterfeit. The FDA
is particularly concerned because a number
of the drugs are for serious diseases and
could have an adverse effect on treatment.
Medications include Gabapentin (100 mg,
300 mg and 400 mg). More information and
recommendations, go to
