    Where can I get a medication tested for authenticity?
    I bought some meds online. They're fairly tame antibiotics for acne. But, I want to make sure they are what they're supposed to be and not expired or fakes made in China and repackaged to look like the real thing.
    Thank you
    Michael

    One take them to a drug store and let them look at them, they can often just spot the fake, Or you can pay a lab to do testing on them, but then they will destroy the medication and cost you 100's of dollars to do the test.

    On TV the nashville news did a study, they ordered 100's of online medication, that should require a prescription about 80 percent were fake or very week versions of the drugs.
