Counterfeit Pills Fact Sheet

The document is a fact sheet from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) highlighting the dangers of counterfeit prescription pills. It explains that these pills are mass-produced by criminal drug networks, often contain lethal doses of fentanyl, and are deceptively marketed as legitimate medications. The DEA emphasizes that counterfeit pills are widely available, especially through social media and e-commerce platforms, and warns against purchasing medications outside licensed pharmacies. In 2025, the DEA seized over 47 million fentanyl pills and nearly 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, potentially saving 369 million lives. The document urges the public to rely only on licensed medical professionals for safe medications and provides resources for more information at DEA.gov/OnePill.
